I need to know how to set my site up where users can make it printing friendly.

Well...one option is to create print friendly pages that have black text on white background. For the print versions I'd use a larger font size and not in bold.
Personally I have my prefrences set to not print backgrounds/images, so were I to try and print this out with it's white text, I'd see nothing.
As an aside........all of that bolded white text is very, very, hard to read. (Unless Al Gore wants to target the young and very and sharp sighted?)

You can use CSS to create a print friendly page.
Me, I've used CSS together with PHP to create a print friendly site.

CSS is the easiest way -- you simply create a print stylesheet that hides all the pieces you don't want to print and set the display to white background, black text.
http://www.alistapart.com/stories/goingtoprint/ may be of help.
The only problem with this is if someone wants to print the site as it looks in the monitor (for contest entries, to demonstrate a problem, et cetera).
I get around that problem by using screenshots instead.
