I would like to print links as regular text i.e. not underlined or in a different font and color.

Question

I have created a page with my resumé, using Dreamweaver CS4 on my iMac (running OS X 10.6.6).  You can see the page here: http://www.peterforkes.com/Resume.html
It looks great when it is on the screen, but when I print it I would like the links to not be underlined and also to be displayed in the same font (and color) of the text surrounding it (a link is largely useless on a piece of paper, if it it not showing the URL).
So, I created a stylesheet called "print.css" and have this in it:
a:link {
text-decoration: none;
In my html document (Resume.html)  I have this code, at the top:
<link href="_css/Resume.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<link href="_css/Print.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" />
Now, things such as the graphics in my document do not print out (this is how I want it) but links seesm to be doing unexpected things for me.  As I mentioned, when I print the page I would like them to:
a) not print with an underline (which I would expect the code snippet shown above to do).
b) I would like the link color to be the same as the surrounding text (I have links in several places, such as in <h2>, <h3> and <p>).
c) I would like the link to have the same font and text size as the surrounding text.
Any help is always appreciated.

You've solved it for a:link but you may print the page with the <a> tag in link or visited state so you need to cover both.
In http://www.peterforkes.com/_css/Print.css
change
a:link {
text-decoration: none;
to
a:link, a:visited {
color: #333;
text-decoration: none;
