OK, this was actually pretty easy to hack together.

1. Make a copy of tiki-view_tracker.php and rename it to tiki-print_tracker.php.
2. At the very end of the file, replace these 2 lines:
   $smarty->assign('mid', 'tiki-view_tracker.tpl');
$smarty->display("tiki.tpl");
   with this line:
   $smarty->display('tiki-print_tracker.tpl');
3. Make a copy fo tiki-view_tracker.tpl and rename it to tiki-print_tracker.tpl.
   • Add {include file="header.tpl"} at the start of the file.
   • Add {include file="footer.tpl"} at the end of the file.
   • Delete anything that you don't want to appear on "printer formatted" page.

I also created a "printer formatted" version of the tiki-view_tracker_item page. You can see my implementation here. I'm going to do the same thing for the HTML pages, too.

Next: Optimizing the new print.php files — I have feeling I'm making a lot of expensive queries to the DB for things that I'm not using on the "printer formatted" pages. Any optimization experts out there?
