---- Print CSS files - point sizes necessary?

Oops, looks like I'm in the wrong forum. Sorry! Can the moderator move this to the CSS forum? Ta.

On your point about absolutely positioned div's - many people alter their print css file to match the size of an A4 page and adjust their margins accordingly. I suppose that it's a matter of printing your current version and see if there are any problems with your current layout.

That's exactly what I've done - using Print Preview. In my print CSS file I've removed elements that don't have a purpose when printed out, such as large blank areas of colour, menu links, etc, by using {display:none;}. Then I moved the rest of the contents left to fit the A4 page. (What if someone uses a different paper size though? Such as Legal, or A4 Landscape?)
