Sanjiv,
As it was stated in this article:

the site is still in beta and aditional features (like those mentioned there, will follow soon).
Ahmed.

Use Firefox to browse to the article and save the page to your desktop, open that saved HTML page and print that. Format is nicer regards printing, and it's easy enough to throw away (recycle) the 'guff' (like my comment!) from the top and bottom of the print out.
Great article BTW!

That should work until the printer friendly links are in place.
