Printing the HTML docs is not a reasonable option. It is not designed to be
printed. It wastes too much space on each page and presents an inferior,
disconnected presentation of the information.
For printed documentation, which I and many other users prefer, PDF or an
equivalent document format is preferred.

But converting to PDF doesn't magically make it print better. A simple,
direct conversion to PDF will not print any better than the original
HTML. A lot of the extra work the documentation people are doing is
precisely to make it print better.
