Whilst the CSS print media solves certain problems, it doesn't solve others. CSS allows you to alter the styling and to show or to hide content, but what if the document content and structure needs to be changed for printing, such as may be the case for applications where the paper user interface is very different from what is offered on screen. Having events gives applications developers the extra flexibility to handle such situations.
