I've used this technique in the past with good results, even for the notorious IE6.
So I wouldn't be too pessimistic. Try @media print first before you decide to code a lot. There is a usability problem with @media print though. Users are so trained to look for printer-friendly versions of pages, that many of them don't try to print the page they see on the screen. They simply don't know that a page can have different appearance on different media. (Sadly enough, a majority of web designers seem to be ignorant about this fact too.)
