Except this is overkill in most cases when you just want a quick print
out. As a user if I click on a print link I don't expect to have a PDF
downloaded which I then need to open in another bit of software before I
can print.
We could link to a page with a fixed width map (I think this is what
google maps do) rather than the variable width, but this fails as the
width would need to depend on what paper is being used and the
orientation of the page...
