[Talk-us] One click quality printed maps (as an OSM advantage)

There's something OSM could do well, that Google Maps can't, due to
licensing restrictions: create good printable maps. Google and Mapquest
both are pretty bad.
The high volume use cases:
* Printing a map for "take along" navigation, on a standard printer.
* Exporting a map for embedding in fliers or printed material. GM and
Mapquest terms of service prohibit this.
If OSM was the "go to place" for getting useful printed maps, it could
bring additional people into the OSM community.
Thoughts?
