Are you using 2 style sheets? One for screen and one for print?
If I understand what it is, that you want; some sites do that with 2
stylesheets. The browser sees the screen version while the printer
prints the print version

but I suppose this only works in 4+ or 5+ browsers.
OTOH, this site loses its stylesheet on NN4 (due to using @import),
in which case the info is linearized anyway.
