Printing New York Times blog postings

Almost every time I try to print a posting on one of the NYTimes blogs that are often highlighted on the home page of NYTimes.com, my computer slows/freezes and I have to close out of Internet Explorer in order to move on....without anything printed. I think it has something to do with the huge number of pages that these blogs represent. Would it help if they broke them into smaller numbers, by day, week, etc.?
