Where are you from? AFAIK in Germany, you cannot prevent printing 
legally (just practically e.g. by disabling it in PDF), since prints may 
not be made because of permission of the author but because of 
provisions in copyright law.

It is possible that CC+ can help you, so that no new (well, although CC+ 
is new) CC-license is needed...

Yours
