so what 'font-family' should I use in a print stylesheet?
+1
A:
I would keep it the same as the screen display - unless there is a good reason for it to be different. Less jarring for the user, who expects the print to look similar to screen.

From the article you linked: "On the web, the body type for articles here is a sans-serif. On the printed page, I think that serif fonts are easier to read so I reset the font-family to Georgia. No background and black text is the default, but just in case, I explicitly declare it in the body."

:)Yep, that is why I said 'I would...' - just my opinion.
