<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" > will create a style
sheet that only is used when printing.

You can also designate a section of a 'media="all" ' stylesheet to
specific media by using the @media command. The syntax is @media medianame
{...} and everything between the braces is applied for the given media
named in medianame. You can use several media names separated by commas if
you like. NOTE: This particular syntax isn't recognized in all browsers.
This isn't necessarily a problem, as it means @media can also be used to
hide good CSS from some bad browsers.

Have fun,
