456 Berea Street

A client recently reported that there was a problem with their print stylesheet causing content to be cut off at the right margin. I had a look at it and couldn't see a problem until I tried printing from Internet Explorer. There was a problem alright.
It was really puzzling since all the print CSS for that site does is basically hide parts that are irrelevant when printing. There shouldn't be any conflicts with other style sheets either since the screen style sheets use a different media type. But I was wrong - in some cases IE will apply CSS that it shouldn't.
