Try adding "float: none" to the images in your print style sheet. I find
this usually fixes the problem, but can't be certain as you don't say
which browser you use.
No need to un-float all of them - just the ones that give problems.
(Bearing in mind that not everyone prints on size A4 in portrait mode.)
Cordially,

Thanks David - I've tried that, but I have two problems: one is the one
you hint at, in which I can't know how the user is going to print out
(page size etc) so I can't know in advance which images are relevant.
The other is that removing the float(s) produces a less than perfect
printout, with the image(s) appearing on their own. (I did say most
users will be on IE, incidentally)
It seems to me that, either I'm ignorant, or print style sheets have
some way to go unless the pages are quite simple . . .
