I saw something like this at another evolt-ers page and thinking it was the 
neatest way, I tried it but it made a real mess in NN. If you use this, 
then you may want to try putting the print CSS into an @import file so only 
IE will recognize it and not print reams of paper for those using NN. I 
either didn't try or don't remember how the print CSS worked in NS and/or 
Opera.
