Yes, and you can do it with just one click!

Next time you're reading an article online look for a printer icon somewhere on the page. The icon will usually be accompanied by the words, print, print friendly, printable format or some similar variation. Click on this icon just once and the entire text of the article (minus photos and most ads) will appear on one page, meaning you can read more in less time and with fewer clicks!
