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

I was just assuming that he wanted to have an option for a printer friendly page or the other...mmm..guess when he replies we'll know for sure or something lol! =)
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?
