Convert web pages to PDFs with PDFmyURL
I tested out a PDFmyURL on few different sites, and it performed to expectations on most of them. PDFmyURL doesn't handle horizontal websites well, but since the majority of sites are laid out vertically, that's not an enormous flaw. PDFmyURL will split longer webpages into multiple PDF pages, instead of just grabbing the part "above the fold."
I just wish this thing had been around when I was trying to print off some outdated documents on a Windows machine last year, and was lost without my Mac's trusty "print to PDF"

I hope that they choose to make an add-on or a bookmarklet for this, could come in handy and save the trouble of having to go the site just to convert the web page

While this would no doubt be useful for those times you are on a PC with no ability to install an application, I doubt it would be able to handle a URL for a secure web page, such as a checkout receipt.
For Windows users, I recommend a free print to PDF utility, such as CutePDF Writer:

This would be useful for a computer where one does not have the ability to install applications, but I doubt it can handle secure web pages that require a sign in. In other words, it is likely useless for printing out a receipt for an online purchase.

There is similar web site at http://www.web2pdfconvert.com which do web to pdf conversion very well with excellent quality and flash support. Also as I remember it has add-ons for IE, Firefox and Chrome which allow to do conversion directly from browser.
If you will google for web to pdf converter you will find many of similar services.
