The short answer is: you definitely can use CSS to do this, but browsers will always mess up your positioning. Basically the only safe CSS-P for printing is: position:static; float:none; As in, the default. >From the wiki (http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=PrintStylesheets) : --- (Authored by Kevin Venkiteswaran) Part of browsers' poor support for printing includes butchering content that is laid out with anything but position: static. This includes "simple" positioning such as relative and absolute. For example, Win/IE5.0 and Win/IE5.5 would show only the top-most onscreen portion of a <div> that was positioned absolute and had overflow: auto (a CSS setup to emulate HTML frames). Similarly, Mozilla 1.6 had similar problems. The solution was to change all position properties from fixed, absolute, etc. back to static. --- The problem I've seen with floats is that floated images will get cut off and even dissappear. If you just float text it *might* work, but you'll have to test and see.
