Barney, Yes, I know. That's the one I'm using on my server and it works if I use it, with the workarounds I described.
But, it is recommended everywhere to link to the compressed file on the googlecode repository. As can be read here: https://code.google.com/p/html5shiv/, and it also says the code for printing is included. But it works only if I put the uncompressed file on my server. It's not a problem with access to the googlecode repository because the pages containing html5 elements look fine in IE on the screen. I was wondering if anyone here was getting correct results with printing in IE 6-7-8 with the combination I tried to use as described below : html5 elements + html5shiv from googlecode + print stylesheet.
