Workaround... yes.

Hmmm... probably :-)
Workaround:
I use the following method to @import print-stylesheets into my main
stylesheets...
@import url("fineprint.css");
(yes, an ordinary @import without media-pointer.)
Then, in my 'fineprint.css' i wrap the entire styleset in an ordinary...
@media print {
...all print styles...
}
...and all browsers that understand @media will apply the css for
printing. That excludes IE/Mac and IE4/win and other old browsers.
I use the same @media rule in stylesheets for screen, print and
projection, and whatever other media I want to support.
IE/Mac is let in on screen-styles through a hack, and also given its own
set of styles for screen in order to overcome some of its limitations.
