It is possible to enabled or disable the PF link in individual comments via the "Show printer-friendly version link in individual comments" checkbox. (default: disabled)

Administer › Site configuration › Printer-friendly (admin/settings/print)

This is where all the module-specific configuration options can be set:

Printer-friendly page link (default: enabled)
Enable or disable the printer-friendly page link for each node. Even if the link is disabled, you can still view the print version of a node by going to print/nid where nid is the numeric id of the node.

Show link in system (non-content) pages (default: enabled)
Setting this option will add a printer-friendly version page link on pages created by Drupal or the enabled modules.

Logo URL (default: empty)
An alternative logo to display on the printer-friendly version. If left empty, the current theme's logo is used.

Stylesheet URL (default: empty)
The URL to your custom print cascading stylesheet, if any. When none is specified, the default module CSS file is used.

Printer-friendly URLs list (default: enabled)
If set, a list of the destination URLs for the page links will be displayed at the bottom of the page.

Include comments in print-friendly version (default: disabled)
When this option is active, user comments are also included in the printer-friendly version. Requires the comment module.

Open the printer-friendly version in a new window (default: disabled)
Setting this option will make the printer-friendly version open in a new window/tab.

Send to printer (default: disabled)
Automatically calls the browser's print function when the printer-friendly version is displayed.

Source URL:

Display source URL (default: enabled)
When this option is selected, the URL for the original page will be displayed at the bottom of the printer-friendly version.

Add current time/date to the source URL (default: disabled)
Display the current date and time in the Source URL line.

Force use of node ID in source URL (default: disabled)
Drupal will attempt to use the page's defined alias in case there is one. To force the use of the fixed URL, activate this option.

Robots META tags:

Add noindex (default: enabled)
