One thing you can do at this time is print selection. It is a feature supported by your browser, be it Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, etc, so it works on almost every website out there. Just highlight the text you want to print (left-click and drag from beginning to end), either go File->Print or press ctrl + P (your preference), and under "Print Range" choose Selection. Then when you press the OK/Print button only the text and/or images you selected will be printed, along with the standard page numbers, URL, etc. It's a nice alternative to the copy-and-paste method Kees detailed.

Regardless, I too would like to see a Printer Friendly View option in the future.
