GZIP the page and force the end user to use Netscape. ???
No, still wouldn't work. If the data ever gets displayed, then it is present on the viewer's machine, and can be printed.
It was meant as a jab at Netscape. Yes someone could take a screen shot and print, or grab to the clipboard and print the text, but hitting 'print' from netscape would cause it to go grab gzipped info and print out the zipped info - essentially printing garbage to the printer instead of what it's rendered on the screen earlier.
