Firefox, Opera, and possibly Safari have a minimum font size preference; no matter what size you set (e.g. font-size: 1px;) the font won't be made any smaller. In FF it's on the Content tab, font fieldset, Advanced button. If you can control the users' browsers (e.g. this is on an intranet) you can change the preference for all of them or get them to do it themselves; otherwise you'll have to accept it. (I doubt that exhorting people to fiddle with browser options for the sake of printing one page is going to work.) FWIW, Opera uses 9px as the minimum (at least as of version 9 Beta on Windows, and since version 7 on the Mac); I think FF does the same, but I seem to have set the option to "none" when experimenting with this a while back, so maybe it's 10px, as you suggest.
