I have a site that has a bunch of drop down menus

Once a person has gone through and selected from the menus it is suggested he/she print that page. However on this page are a bunch of graphics and buttons that waste ink. Is it possible to create a button or hyper link that puts specific text on a blank page as a printable version? It's not as simple as just making a page and deleting all the graphics because depending on what people pick from the drop down menus for printing.
