I saw an interesting snippet, I think it was on the W3C site. It was a
conditional comment that kept a section from being cropped by a printed
page. I was just searching trough my old files and can't find it right now.
If I remember correctly, it was a rule that said
@print... #importantsection {avoid break within this block;}
Obviously the above is a very rough sketch of the actual rule. Does anyone
else know of this? I thought it was a useful idea and tried it on a page, I
just can't remember which page.:(

Can you quote an example?
According to discussion on css-d (e.g. [1]) it's often related to
floated elements -- it seems best to simplify your layout as much as
possible using a print style sheet to help current browsers to print
sensibly. See [2] for some more info.
