On this topic very topic, there were lots of print/preview issues within
windows 2000 & IE 5.5, which required the windows service pack 2 (or
later) to be applied to resolve them.
You wouldn't be in that group would you, if you're saying it works in
other browsers, and even for the screen version, but not for print?

PS Type in winver from the run option on the start menu to find out, the
SP version.

Not at all. Sounds like the print preview in IE5.5 is broken (IE/win
5.0 doesn't seem to have one at all)
I'm using '@media print' in a LINK'd stylesheet for www.TnTLuoma.com and
www.1stpc.org and they both work in the print preview for IE6/Op6/Moz
