My wife got me one for Christmas from Carter and Grunewald. It's pretty neat, and I've found it easy to use. Yes, you can print the diagrams.
It is NOT a service manual. (If anyone knows of a Farmall SERVICE manual on CD, I'd be interested!) It does NOT contain operator information. It consists of exploded parts diagrams of the tractors listed on the disk info. The pictures have been scanned into digital format, and are pretty clear in most cases. The diagram usually takes up the left half of the screen, with part #s on the right half. You can toggle the picture into full-screen mode for a better view. Clicking on a part allows you to zoom in on that part for a better view. There is a "notes" section on the parts list that gives other part #'s that supercede the originial #.
As I said, what I have is NOT a service manual, but the diagrams allow you to see the relative positions of parts, the shape descriptions are pretty clear, and a lot can be learned from studying the diagrams.
Worth the $$? Depends on what you're going to try to do with it. In my opinion, for someone restoring an old tractor, it could pay for itself in trips saved to the IH dealer; you'd know the part # before the guy behind the counter even looked it up!

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
