    Hi, I made a print.css for a printer-friendly version, following http://codex.wordpress.org/Styling_for_Print. It does work with
    firefox and explorer but not with explorer on a XP pro. And I do
    not have a clue. Anyone with an idea? Thnx. See:

    What are you trying to print specifically? I don't see or must have missed a print link for the topics or posts or something.. Mmm... why not just use GamerZ plugin? =)

    Example of the page or post that will be printed:
    http://www.vindictivebastard.net/blog/the-good-things-about-a-relationship.htm/print/

    http://www.vindictivebastard.net/blog/ <--Find print link under my posts.

    Hope that helps. =)

    The idea of a print.css file is that you don't need a "printer friendly" page, or a link to "print this post" or anything like that. The browser uses a different stylesheet for print than it does for display. All very clever.

    Good explanation from Eric Meyer

    Actually, the print.css seems to be working fine in IE and Firefox on XP for me....

    Actually LesBessant is quite right. Thnx. The print.css works when you start to print a page on the regular blog. Because there's a 'media=print' line, your os knows to pick the right css (I guess). But so the question is still on the table: why is this working with firefox and eplorer on a win98se machine and a xp home machine, but not on the xp pro machine that I'm using now. Anyone?
