Create a new HTML embed element:

```
Replace the comment /* CSS code for the printer-friendly version */ with your own CSS code to define the styles for the printer-friendly version of your page.

Style the printer-friendly version:

Within the @media print block, you can add CSS rules to define the stylistic changes specifically for printing.
For example, you can hide certain elements that are not required in the printed version using display: none;.
You can also adjust other styles, such as font sizes, margins, and colors, to optimize the layout for printing.

Save and publish your site:

Once you have added the necessary CSS code, save your changes and publish your site.
Test the printer-friendly option by printing a page using the browser's print function or the print preview option.

Additionally, make sure to optimize your printed page for search engines by including relevant keywords in the content and metadata. This will help your website rank higher in related search queries, improving its visibility and increasing traffic.

Example:

<style>@media print {  .header,  .sidebar,  .footer {    display: none;  }    h1 {    font-size: 24px;  }    p {    font-size: 16px;    color: #333;    margin-bottom: 10px;  }}</style>
