Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I feel very silly for posting this question. Looking at the Pubmed source: Doh!

Use of the canonical link should solve all of your problems as far as how the search engines.  Bots that view the PF page will take the canonical directive and treat it like a 301 redirect and pass link equity etc. The other thing you need to consider is the use of rel next and prev for the article that you broke into parts if you consider this one big article broken up into parts.  That would be used to "connect" all the sections of your depression article to each other. Frankly, I do not know why you broke up this page into parts as the article is not that long as a whole  There is some data out there that longer articles get more links http://www.quicksprout.com/2012/12/20/the-science-behind-long-copy-how-more-content-increases-rankings-and-conversions/ One issue on the print pages is that you have a meta noindex tag. That tells Google to deindex the page and not to crawl it.  You do not need to use that tag as you are using the canonical to tell Google what the "parent" page.  If you are using the rel next prev on both the regular and paginated pages, I would advise canonicaling P1 to P1, P2 to P2 and the All to the All page vs canonical everything to the main page. You are basically telling Google two things. with rel next prev - here are the parts that make up the whole. with the canonical - if they look at the PF version, here is the "real" page they want to pay attention to.  This is what passes the link equity along to the proper pages.  If you are getting links into the "print all page" this is the key page to have canonical linked to the "real" page. What I would do is put this all into one page and then it is simple.  Just canonical the PF page to the actual page and remove the noindex meta tag off the PF page. If the above does not make sense, read each of the articles below about 3x and watch the video 3x it should help Here are the Google Pages on canonicals http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2009/02/specify-your-canonical.html and rel next prev http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2011/09/pagination-with-relnext-and-relprev.html http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2012/03/video-about-pagination-with-relnext-and.html Good luck!
