YES!

They are useful when they invoke a formatted-for-nice-printing version. 

They are useless when they just try to print the current screen. 
I especially used to hate the old embedded Print buttons that would 
print only the top visible portion of a page that needed lots 
of scrolling.... and then would reprint that top portion no 
matter how far down you'd scrolled.    


Hmm... apropos of this, what old cartoon used to make occasional 
use of an "Urge to Kill" bubble - sorta like a speech or thought 
bubble, but... um... more specialized ??  Anybody remember that? 

Yeah, I could Google, but it's more fun if some other old fart 
admits to recalling the same thing. 

It wasn't Dilbert, though I always sympathize and get a kick out 
of Alice's fist-of-death and it's various incarnations.
