The short answer to your question about importing the html code into
FrontPage, or now Web Expression, the answer is effectively no. The code is
way too different. You will be able to copy and paste some text and perhaps
some of the other design elements, but basically you should start over with
another program. At least you will have a sense of the design and how you
want to build your page after doing it in Publisher. It should go quicker in
a web program.

I think David Bartosik did an excellent job framing the question of whether
to build your site in Publisher or not. It all really depends upon the scope
and goals you have for your site.

One thing you should know is that since David wrote that message, we have
pretty much figured out how to make Publisher webpages cross browser
compatible. That isn't a good reason to not use Publisher.

In my opinion you can build a good looking and functional site with
Publisher. But you must remember that Publisher is a DTP. If you are
planning a relatively simple, small and static website, then you might find
Publisher great for your purposes. But with convenience comes limitations. I
would read through the posts in this newsgroup to get a better idea of what
those are.

As to your printing question, you can convert a Publisher page to PDF. If
you are using Pub 2007 you can use the add in. If you are using Pub 2003 or
older than try one of the free PDF tools such as www.primopdf.com . One
design challenge you will have is to make sure that your pages are not too
wide to print. It seems that most people create a print formatted document
for people that want to make a "printable" version of their site. Then you
just upload that version and link to it.
