What you see on the screen is not what is printed on the paper.

Before I respond, please define "links are shown in markup".  The word 
markup often means something different to different people.

I think you just answered my question above.  :-)

But why make the user copy in the first place?

Why not set the page up so if the page is printed/saved as a PDF file, 
the text shown on the web page is printed, and if you open the PDF file 
the text becomes clickable links?  It seems to me, as a user and not a 
programmer, having the URL printed on the paper is essentially useless.

Some of  the steps you've suggested make more work for the user, when 
the computer could do it for the user.
