Problems with Print CSS Crashing IE in Windows

[mcdzinr]

I am hoping someone can assist me. I have 3 links to style sheets set up within my html documents, 2 of which are media type "screen" and one that is "print". Whenever I try to do a print preview OR print the page in IE, it crashes. However, if I remove "screen" from the two screen based style sheet links, and leave the "print" media type, the print preview works fine, but my layout is, of course, incorrect. Can anyone assist me? Is there a browser bug in IE for Windows that is causing this?

This works (but the page layout is a mess):
<link href="css/style1.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="css/style2.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="css/print.css" rel="stylesheet" media="print" type="text/css" />

This crashes the IE on Windows browser:
<link href="css/style1.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen" type="text/css" />
<link href="css/style2.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen" type="text/css" />
<link href="css/print.css" rel="stylesheet" media="print" type="text/css" />

I appreciate any help someone can provide on this.

Well even if it's a bug a well-behaved program should not crash.
Don't believe Bill when he says "it's not a bug it's a feature" :lol:
Do you have a URL so we can check ?
I use Opera but I also have Konqueror, Firefox and others (*nix platform).

Anyway found this on Google but no idea if it relates to your issue:

I've found bugs with printing that when dealing with complex floating elements and layers that bringing up the print window crashes. The only way to make IE not crash was to add a print stylesheet that makes one of the floating layers display:none;

I think it actually might be fixed now that I removed the float from one of the main divs. However, I now need to make sure things appear on the page, but that is fixable. Gotta love the browser wars. Everything is BEAUTIFUL in Safari, but awful in IE for Windows. Go figure, huh?

Thanks for your help! If I have any further problems with the browser crashing, I'll post another message in hopes someone can help.
