That feature can be done using javascript. I found a premade script for you at dynamic drive.

I would do it something like this.

window.onload = function(){
 if(!window.print || !document.createTextNode) return;
 var a = document.getElementById("print");
 a.appendChild(document.createTextNode("Print this page"));
 a.href = "javascript:window.print();";
}

<a id="print"></a>
