Hi sg,

For make the print version look good, you have different options. The first option is to make a dedicated stylesheet, for you print version. When you have added the style in the dedicated stylesheet for the print version, then you need to add a link to it in the master template. It looks like this

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="print.css" media="print">

The media attribute specifies what media/device the target resource is optimized for. This attribute is mostly used with CSS stylesheets to specify different styles for different media types. So when it has the media="print" this stylesheet, is only used for print.

The second option is using media queries to adding the print styling. For this you can use this syntaxs:

@media screen { 
 body { 
 width: 75%; 
  } 
}

A good basic print stylesheet is e.g from the HTML5 boilerplate http://html5boilerplate.com/ and then you just need to add styling, to make elements looks as it should for printing.

@media print {
    * {
        background: transparent !important;
        color: #000 !important; /* Black prints faster: h5bp.com/s */
        box-shadow: none !important;
        text-shadow: none !important;
    }

    a,
    a:visited {
        text-decoration: underline;
    }

    a[href]:after {
        content: " (" attr(href) ")";
    }

    abbr[title]:after {
        content: " (" attr(title) ")";
    }

    /*
     * Don't show links for images, or javascript/internal links
     */

    .ir a:after,
    a[href^="javascript:"]:after,
    a[href^="#"]:after {
        content: "";
    }

    pre,
    blockquote {
        border: 1px solid #999;
        page-break-inside: avoid;
    }

    thead {
        display: table-header-group; /* h5bp.com/t */
    }

    tr,
    img {
        page-break-inside: avoid;
    }

    img {
        max-width: 100% !important;
    }

    @page {
        margin: 0.5cm;
    }

    p,
    h2,
    h3 {
        orphans: 3;
        widows: 3;
    }

    h2,
    h3 {
        page-break-after: avoid;
    }
}

As you can see the HTML5 boilerplate uses the section option I mentioned with the media query, but you can also just take this into a separate stylesheet, and link to this in the master template with the media attibute set to print.
