I think that's because you organize your styles in such a way that you
have to override a bunch of screen-style. Not a good approach IMO.
Better keep styles for different media apart, so you can write minimal
and exact styles for each media, without having to override anything.

I'll agree on that one.
Typical case - min/max width expression that'll work in Strict/Quirks mode:
-----------
CSS for standard compliant browsers:
#wrapper {max-width: 1200px; min-width: 550px;}
CSS for MSIE/win:
#wrapper {width: 760px;}
div#wrapper { width:expression(((document.compatMode &&
document.compatMode=='CSS1Compat') ?
document.documentElement.clientWidth : document.body.clientWidth)
> 1218 ? "1200px" : (((document.compatMode &&
document.compatMode=='CSS1Compat') ?
document.documentElement.clientWidth :
document.body.clientWidth) < 570 ? "552px" : "99.7%")); }
@media print {
div#wrapper {width: 100%!important;}
}
------------
Nothing but !important will make IE/win override that expression (which
is borrowed from javascript) when such a page is going to print -- even
if the expression is wrapped in an @media screen rule.
