You have to give the print style-sheet the *same* title as the screen style-sheet. i.e <link href="theme-blue.css" title="blue" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" /> <link href="theme-blue-print.css" title="blue" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" /> <link rel="alternate stylesheet" type="text/css" href="theme-red.css" media="screen" title="red" /> <link rel="alternate stylesheet" type="text/css" href="theme-red-print.css" media="print" title="red" /> With the above, a well educated browser will select the 'theme-blue-print.css' for printing when the 'theme-blue.css' is the active screen style (Firefox, Opera, I think Safari but I haven't tested this for a while). The title attribute makes the stylesheet persistent; when used with multiple stylesheets, it is also used as a means of grouping the stylesheets. <http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/present/styles.html#h-14.3> BTW, IE has a truck load of bugs with this (essentially ignoring the title attribute.
