The easy answer is: generate a pdf, and have the clients download it. You may also generate an XPS, but you'll find that not many people have the viewer installed.
Generating pure printable HTML is very difficult, because of differences between browsers (and their print engine).
Almost all browsers will also add extraneous information, like the web site address, or the page number, etc...
