I understand, for me no issue. But for a novice, or an elderly someone 
with very minor knowledge about computers that is already an obstacle. 
They can find the print icon, that's about it.

It is ALWAYS better to produce a PDF then print from a real PDF product. Web browsers give you printing as an afterthought. “Oh you want to print too?? Uh… okay here you go.”
