Rather than using robots.txt I'd use a noindex,follow tag instead to the page. This code goes into the tag for each print page. And it will ensure that the pages don't get indexed but that the links are followed.

Hey Ben! I'd also like to add to what Christy mentioned is that we do have a welcome webinar this Friday at 10am PDT: https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/355765902. It's an hour long, and we'll walk you through Moz Analytics and other tools, and you'll have plenty of time to ask direct questions to the team and such as well.
And welcome!
Jen

True but using robots.txt does not keep them out of the index. Only using "noindex" will do that.
