Now and then I come across websites where the printed result is nothing like what you see on the screen (I often "print to PDF" if I come an interesting web page).
One such example is this page where in Safari I get overlapping text and in Firefox I just get the first page (also with overlapping text), a blank page then nothing more.

I've heard you can add your own printer stylesheets to most browsers but never actually found a guide on how to set this up (at least not anything explained in laymen's terms instead of for a programmer!).
Can someone explain to me how this is done (or other options to make printed websites readable)?

PS: I know about the various "save entire page as PDF" which basically makes a graphic screendump, but this won't let you click on links or search through the text.
