How is the site being stored right now? It is coming out of a content
management system/database? If so, then you'll want to do this on the
back-end, by having the end-user fill out an email address and submitting
that back to the server, which, in turn, will grab the content from the
current page and then send it to the address provided. Search for 'mail this
page scripts' in the language of your choice.

If you simply have static pages, then you could write a javascript that
would grab the current URL and then simply write out an email link that
would have the URL in the SUBJECT field. Not perfect, but might do the
trick.

There's absolutely no need for this. Every web browser has a perfectly
usable print function already.

Saved how? Again, a web browser already has FILE >> SAVE.

If you meant bookmark, then, again, the browser already has this feature. If
a person doesn't already know how to bookmark a page, then they're not going
to know what that link does anyways.

In addition to darrel's good advice, I'll just add that a programmatic print
will fail on IE/Mac. That's another reason not to do it.
