Hi Barney,
First I should have a look at the html-validator and repair some errors
- will have a positive effect anyway. :-)
Then the strange characters.
It are some rests of the header h1 and header h2 styles in the media-all
styles.
If we give these styles a font-size of say 15px instead of 1px/0px (IE
is enlarging everything: and seems to enlarge the height of the 1px/0px
characters without enlarging the width of them proportionally), the text
is appearing just in the positions as where the collapsed characters are.

So the solution will be, if you don't want the h1 and h2 texts to
display: to set these styles to {display:none;} in the print stylesheet.

Success and greetings,
francky
Btw: can't you give the normal stylesheet an @media-screen? Then you've
your hands free for a fresh start in the print styles, without any
influence of the screen styles (now and later, if something has to be
changed in the screen styles).
