I disagree this has nothing to do with webkit: Is the webkit team aware that when printing half of all the web pages out there the output looks like doodoo?

Whatever the CSS, having the pages print out in a totally ugly way is just plain silly. Surely using the "screen" stylesheet for printing is better than no stylesheet at all?

I propose that WebKit use the "screen" stylesheet for printing if there is no "print" stylesheet present in the source document.

I think half of all web pages out there is probably an exaggeration. I think most authors use "all" for the media type unless they are specifically targeting the screen. The Surfin' Safari blog had discussed a common mistake of using device dependent units when using the "all" media type, but I guess WebKit already adjusts for that. I could imagine a site targeting the screen with a design really only meant for the screen. Printing using that CSS would be worst than falling back on the default stylesheet.

take care,
Rob
