I don't think so, as a parsing bug in IE/win - which seems to be present
in all Trident-based versions, included IE7, will make that browser look
for "another" file when '@import ... print' is used. I use that parsing
bug as a hack[1] - replacing 'conditional comments', but I still have to
rely on the @media rule in the stylesheet to prevent it from being a
'media all' stylesheet.
Now, all my testing shows that IE6 picks up _my_ printing-styles
correctly the way I have applied the @import and @media rules - although
IE/win can be quite stubborn when it comes to overriding some of the
dedicated screen styles with the equivalent print styles.
Do you have a link so I can look a bit closer at the problem you are
experiencing?
