[Web4lib] Printing Web Pages

[Gimon, Charles A]

Print style sheets -- they're great!

List two style sheets, one with media=screen, the other with
media=print, like so:

<link rel="stylesheet" media="screen" href="main.css" type="text/css">
<link rel="stylesheet" media="print" href="print.css" type="text/css">

It does help if your original markup is more semantic/structural and
less "presentational". 

You can also make use of display: none; to rid printed pages of a
variety of visual cruft.

We seem to encounter more and more pages that fail to print as our 
customers want.  The right side of the web page is not printed.

Does anyone have a fairly easy solution for this problem?

Thanks for any help you can give.
