Define what this means to you?

At one level, this requires nothing more than a print stylesheet, and
if you feel it, a link triggering window.print(), requiring no plugin
unless you want to provide a convenience tag producing that JS link.
Or, you could produce an alternate "print version" of a document,
which only calls for a new template an a minor edit here and there to
link, still no plugin.
If you want to get really fancy, I've seen tricks that will use JS to
modify the DOM before the print event, letting you make more
significant changes to the page structure than a simple stylesheet.
On the actual plugin end of things, there's the HP Blog Printing one:

which may be of interest, though it uses an external service, which
you can figure out from scanning the source.
