That is a potential problem, if the browser you use has insufficient
caching and doesn't save associated files along with the HTML page.

Not so suitable for printing.

Not so good if the page is already formatted for printing.

Rubbish.

A properly set up HTML page with a print style*** is every bit as
good for printing as a PDF page. Very often it can be better, by
removing background colours and graphics, which use a lot of ink and
rarely add any significant value.

I'm not sure what you mean by "formatted for printing" - given that
different printers will use different sizes of paper (typically A4 and
Letter) and will have different minimum margins, this generally means
that a PDF page will have to be formatted for the lowest common
denominator in each direction, which results in large margins all
round and more pages used.

Users with low vision, and who need large text, can set up custom
stylesheets to override the print.css and set a suitable minimum font
size of 14pt, whereas most PDFs are set up with very small text, and
users can't change this.
