Hmm, I think that is not correct, based on experience. But it is entirely
possible that IE8 and older have problems when the @media print {} block
contains elements that it doesn't understand, such as the new HTML5 elements.
Make sure you use the html5shiv-printshiv (or Modernizr equivalent)
https://github.com/aFarkas/html5shiv/tree/master/dist
Also, it is possible that IE 8 also has problems when there are selectors it
doesn't understand inside the @media print {} block (e.g. ::before, or
:nth-child(), etc). I seem to remember some forum threads on Alsacecreations
about this. But memory is fuzzy atm.

FWIW, Firefox 3.0 / Camino 2.0 would also ignore the whole block. That is
perhaps a bit of an ambiguity in CSS 2.1 I think.
As far as I can see, IE 8, Firefox 3.0 will happily parse (and apply) this:
@media screen, foo {}
CSS 2.1 only talks about 'media types' (identifiers), and mentions as an
example '3D' (which should be ignored). There is no mention of constructs of
the type 'all and (something)' – the Fx3.0 console flags the whole @media
block as invalid. I tend to think IE 8 and Fx 3 are right as 'all and
(something)' isn't an identifier, or is considered a malformed identifier.
