What if you open the rss feed in firefox (ie
http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot), then print that?   Helpful
firefox hint: you can adjust the font on a per-tab basis by holding down
the control key and using your scroll-wheel on your mouse.  I can't
verify at the moment if that affects printouts, but I think it does.
