[WEB4LIB] printing problems with web pages

Thu Dec 9 10:35:43 EST 2004

We include two different cascading style sheets in our <head> section.
We found this was the easiest way to control and define what gets
printed.

Example:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="http://www.somelocation/stylesheet/bsu-style.css"
media="screen,projector">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="http://www.somelocation/stylesheet/bsu-style-print.css"
media="print">

Has anyone noticed margin problems when printing web pages lately? We =
have had numerous instances where patrons attempt to print web pages and
= the margins are not fitting on 8-1/2 X11 page. Is this due to web
design = not being print-friendly? What can be done on our end to help
our = patrons? =20
