However, when submitting the article to HN, please don't submit the "print" link. The print version is often formatted with smaller type and with a very wide column. It is generally harder to read on a desktop screen, and for many it is impossible to read on a mobile device. The print page often does not contain a link back to the non-print article, so it is hard for people to get the normal version if all they have is the print link. As a further annoyance, sometimes print links actually invoke the print dialog on the client.
People who prefer to read the print link, on the other hand, can usually easily find it on the normal page.
