For reference manuals, it takes a huge amount of effort to make the
printed version as useful as a hypertext version, and most reference
manuals don't go to that length, so I don't see a reason to print them
either (as long as a there aren't licensing constraints that make
printing seem favorable).
OK, I fully agree with both points. In practice the issue we are
discussing here (automatic generation of documentation) is more
likely to occur in the latter context.
