You'll want to use the "printable" facet when rendering your page. The following sample page contains a button which allows the user to view the "printable" version of the page. It uses the <showFacet> event handler to switch to the printable facet:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<page xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/uix/controller"
      xmlns:ui="http://xmlns.oracle.com/uix/ui"
      xmlns:data="http://xmlns.oracle.com/uix/ui"
      xmlns:ctrl="http://xmlns.oracle.com/uix/controller">
<content>
  <pageLayout xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/uix/ui">
  <tabs>
    <tabBar>
    <contents>
       <link text="Hello"/>
       <link text="World"/>
    </contents>
    </tabBar>
  </tabs>
  <pageButtons>
    <pageButtonBar>
    <contents>
      <button text="Show Printable Page" ctrl:event="showPrintable"/>
    </contents>
    </pageButtonBar>
  </pageButtons>
  <contents>
    <text text="Printable area"/>
  </contents>
  </pageLayout>
</content>
<handlers>
  <!-- Use the showFacet event handler to switch over to
       the "printable" facet -->
  <event name="showPrintable">
    <showFacet name="printable"/>
  </event>
</handlers>
