No Print Script

Put the above script between the <head> </head> tags in your page. It will make your page empty when it is printed. The code is fairly simple to understand.

<style type="text/css" media="print">

Here we declare that the following script is a CSS Script and media is print which means it is intended for paged, opaque material and for documents viewed on screen in print preview mode.

body
{
   display: none;
}

Sets the body of the page to blank when the page is printed.

Note: This is especially useful when you don't want some of the pages on your website to be printed and only be read online. Of course you cant protect the content of the page with this script alone, because cut and paste still would print work here. That is another issue which is not discussed here.
