Tech REpublic printouts

I love reading the article and printing things out so that i can read articles while waiting for meetings to start etc. i am however very flustered by the "click to view image" graphic i recieve when i print out articles in the "printer freindly format." How printer firendly is it if all of the supporting graphics are left behind on the server. leavign em to search out the article soemtimes days sometimes weeks later to capture graphics so i can add things to my "techie bible".
