How best to print google topo maps for hiking purposes

I'm just curious if there is a better way to print Google topological
maps for hiking purposes?

Here's why google topo maps have an advantage:
a. Hiking maps, by their very nature, get destroyed in use, so, you want
a cheap and small set of maps.
b. USGS maps are too big and too expensive to be useful for rough hiking
(i.e., hiking in steep hills where the map takes a beating).
c. You often want to annotate the map ahead of time, with route
information or whatever, which is best done on a computer that knows GPS
coordinates

Now here is the "printer" problem:
A. Every time *I* print a google topological map in B&W (the only printer
I have), the isocline lines come out far too light to be useful.
B. I don't have a color printer (although I guess I could send it off to
a printer).
