While this is true, and not so long ago you would have heard me saying 
the same, now I'm tempted to say: The WWW should, and is going to, be 
device independent [0], and a printer is one device among others.

IMO this kind of printing problems are possible to deal with CSS, 
especially as in this case the result does not have to be consistent 
across multiple browsers. Not knowing the exact details, but if you can 
construct a pdf-document looking right, there should be no problems 
creating a (X)HTML/CSS document looking right.

And as nobody asked, I'll not answer to the question: "How do you find 
sites, that work only on one particular piece of software, fitting in 
the big picture of the web?"
