When printing out directions from maps.google.com, I do not see the blue line in
both normal and aerial maps. Someone else reported this problem in Firefox as
well. You can see the details here:

4. Print it out in color.

Only the map shows up. No blue line overlay.

I should see the blue line as my directions when printing out.

Also seeing this on
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050731

However, a little digging with DOM Inspector reveals that this is probably
intended behaviour:
* the image holding the line is assigned to the class "noprint";
* displaying the page in print preview reveals the message "To see all the
details that are visible on the screen, use the 'Print' link next to the map.";
* the 'print' link works as intended.

Workaround: use the 'print' link.
