-           In case you want the printable documentation, however, you
-           need <a href="http://www.linuxsupportline.com/~doc++/" target="_top">Doc++</a>
-          and LaTeX installed. It is known that Doc++
-           version 3.3.13 is broken and generates invalid Tex, but
-           3.4 is OK. Note that the printed documentation of the
-           classes alone is far more than 1000 pages, so you may not
-           want to print it usually. All printable documentation is
-           also available online.
+           Previous versions of the library supported generation of
+           printable documentation. However, due to the size (around
+           2000 pages) which refrains most people from printing, and
+           the high cost of supporting this option, we dropped the
+           possibility of printable documentation.
