newbiedoc is a project, not a document. The project consists of many
smaller documents that are small enough and detailed enough to help a
newbie get started.

Do you have a unix machine already? It would be fairly trivial to
write a one-line shell script that spools all the postscript documents
to the printer. (PS generally prints better than HTML too)
Also be aware that newbie-oriented docs aren't going to go into all
the details and intricacies of any piece of software. Once you are
familiar enough with the software I recommend moving on to more
complete, yet less newbie-friendly, documents.
