Why is printing out web pages still so insufferable? Yes, I know, web pages weren't designed to be printed. Yet, there must be some way for browsers to offer better formatting options.

A gigantic intro image makes sense on the webpage, but not on the printed page. I should be able to embiggen or shrink text in the print preview view, much as I do when viewing on-screen. But we can't even get browser printing to stop splitting lines (top half on one page and bottom half on the next). There must be a better way.
