Christian is correct -- having floated elements can cause some wacky
issues.  But if you're using blueprint's print.css, it should remove
the floats from all your .spans.

I came across this thread today while trying to solve a similar
problem.  It seems that a lot of IE6's printing issues are related to
the way the browser handles printing (and not so much a problem with
CSS) -- there a couple of user-side solutions, but by the developers'
own admission, they aren't very elegant.

To remedy my issue, I created a second print stylesheet and wrapped it
in an IE6 conditional comment.  This new stylesheet has just two
rules: I changed the body font-size from 12pt to 12px, and set a fixed
width of 600px for my page container.  It's not a perfect solution,
but it does seem to work.
