Hi,

Try using picas (pc) or points (pt). I haven't had this problem before myself, but I believe that it may be caused by the fact that printers have no concept of what a cm or mm is.

A good description of pc and pt is at http://www.guistuff.com/css/css_units.html (down the page a bit)

cheers

I need to write a print style sheet and have a particular element on
the page print at a specific absolute size (85mm by 35mm). I've set
the size using the mm units in the style sheet, but the element is
printing at 65mm wide.

I need.

Does anyone have any advice on how I can get the area to print at the
right size? Or am I doomed to failure due to different users printers
probably giving different results anyway?
