Gutenberg[1] Print Styles has been my go-to for a very long time. If I remember correctly, the issues I faced was that I could not control pagination.

8 sourcesThese aren't quite what you're looking for (an SSG theme that does fixed content layouts with pagination, etc with minimal styles by sounds of it), but inspired by similar ideas:

In CSS Naked DayOne might be interested in looking at the Gutenberg CSS Print Framework. It hasn't failed me in all the years that I have used, recommended, and included in most needs.

In CSS for printing to paperI love reading printed books and blog posts. For those interested, a starting point for printable CSS is Gutenberg[1]. This has been my go-to for the print media in CSS. I believe I stopped looking for another one with my lack of deeper involvement in development of styles.
I'm also guilty of picking Baskerville as the default classic look to printable font-family and even had resorted to it for screen.
Besides the tools mentioned in the article (Vellum and Atticus), Ulysses also has a good option for print-ready output.

In Laying Out a Print Book with CSSSimple.css is a well done classless 'framework'. I stumbled on it a while back and started using it and thought this can be my go-to styles for tit-bits of websites that I do for landing pages, family websites etc. However, this is pretty opinionated (including some animations) and I had to abandon it. But I remained inspired by its simplicity and forked my own[1] broke it down. I broke it down to the most basic, but then can be built on top of it -- progressively get a website "designed" far enough but not further.
If you are into these simple classes, check out Drop-in Minimal CSS[2] and choose the one that fits your need.
Simple.css is from an interesting guy, Kev Quirk[3], whose 512kb[4] website was on Hackernews a while back (don't recollect if it was a story or a comment). Hi Kev, if you are around.

ebsite with classless styles, perhaps it is a good idea to add a print styles and I like Gutenberg[5] for that.

Recently, I re-designed my blog and I went looking for a Print CSS starter framework. I found a nice, simple, lean one -- Gutenberg[1]. It is less than 5KB before zipping.
I hope people still do print.css. I also have a habit of printing interesting articles to read away from the screen.
