SEO routing nofollow print page?

    I'm currently working on a site (SEO) and it has a print section, when you click the print button it opens an identical page with identical content just no images etc. optimised for printing.

    Would it be best to "rel=nofollow" the print link?

    I'm thinking it would be, but how do you manage a "print" link

    Thanks.

    Personally, I would have thought it best to nofollow/noindex the page, or surely the content would be a duplicate of the content on the page to be printed? - esp. as all that is missing from the 'print' page is the images (i think, from what you are saying)... and google obviously doesn't read the images!

    Well I thought there may be more answers on this subject. Is there a "print page" code that google's spiders know not to crawl as duplicate content?
