Hi Michel

You could try using a Printer Friendly link. When the person clicks on it,
it will load a different header using a different css definition.

If it at all helps, I developed a header and footer that is standard
throughout our site and use cfinclude to attach them. The header also
consists of the menu down the left side of the page which is what usually
causes the grief when trying to print. At the end of the header and the
beginning of the footer I would put place marks. When the person clicks on
the printer friendly page it will parse out everything before and after the
place marks and put in a new header and footer.

Good Luck
Regards
