From what I understand, you cannot control how a browser prints a document (background printing, center a document, etc) without using an active-x or other plug-in. So my guess is that you're stuck using an img tag, but this isn't such a bad thing in your case, because the image is really part of your page's content, isn't it? So it would make sense to place it within your semantic html. And then perhaps in your print.css you can resize the image to a smaller dimension. I haven't tested this, but it sounds like a good idea from here. . .

I'm new to this list, and I got not one reply. Did I violate some ettiquette? I hope not, and certainly didn't intend to. I gave a link, explained carefully. Did I miss something? TIA...

Hello WSG:
I wrote a separate print.css for this page: http://www.watchhilldesign.com/92/ so I could turn off items that aren't needed in the printout, etc. And I'm using a smaller image for the printout as well (using a background for a div). All looks good in the print preview, but when I actually print, the image is very small.
Also, is there a way around having to tell the browser to print background images and still use a background image? Sounds like a silly question when I put it that way, but I was trying to avoide using an img tag. Is there technique for this? TIA!
