Re: static or dynamic "printer-friendly" webpages?

I use a method combining both; I first write a so-called 'print.php' which has the ability to write a outputted page to a disk cache on the disk. So pages are only generated the first time they're accessed; on second and further requests they're serverd directly from the cache (disk in my case).
