Printer friendly pages - sort of Duplicate content . . . . ?

Hi Group,
I have recently put up a site and Internet Explorer sucks when it comes to
making things "printer friendly" by default. Of course, you can always do
fit to page easily in firefox, and with IE, but the customer wanted
print-friendly by default.

So I shrunk the header graphic size and compressed the margins and made
seperate pages with a link to them from the other page. I guess
Printer-Friendly seems to be an ongoing issue reading various websites.

My question is, I had to do a link to a 'printer-friendly' page for each
page (7 in total) which isn't bad, but wonder how I can get round stopping
them getting penalised as 'duplicate' by the search engines - or won't it
matter ?

Hope you can give some pointers, I'm a bit baffled at the moment.

Thanks everyone!

Best Regards,
Paul
