Interesting. I wonder if there's some non-standards-compliant code in
there somewhere? I do know MapQuest worked fine for me when I was
using Netscape 4.x, but that's not saying anything about standards
compliance. Good news, though: map printing appears to work just fine
on MapBlast (http://www.mapblast.com). So I'll go that route instead.
