I want to create a setup where when I print the current story of tiddlers, it automatically inserts a banner at the top of the page. I can sort of get what I want by creating a Print Banner tiddler that has a logo and big heading, then manually open this tiddler at the top, followed by a few other tiddlers. Then I can print and it looks perfect. However, I don't want to manually open this banner tiddler every time to do this. Is there an easy way to change the style sheet for printing to include this automatically?

On a side note, I noticed I can do this for exporting to static HTML by modifying $:/StaticBanner, and then print the output file (since this banner is included automatically). But I don't like this so much because 1) it now takes extra step to first export, then open the exported file and then print, and 2) it's hard to get a static export of just the currently open tiddlers that looks right. (although it works well for export of a single tiddler or when exporting all tiddlers).
