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. http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2005/06/10/428149.aspx 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.
