I often deal with both designers and programmers, and the problem is, that the standards, which will allow "manipulating CSS" to make a page look as good as possible in print or in PDF, are far, far in the hazy future.
PDF, however, is here. And it takes a couple of clicks for publishers to export to PDF, and to get a perfect product.
I am sure, there will be different, and/or highly evolved standards, a decade or more from now. The web will look different, and presumably much richer and better. But I don't see it happening in the next 2-3 years.

Different animals, IMO. Look at screen sizes, which are fairly standard. While you can do any size on a press, there are only so many core component screen manufacturers.
