Web Pages that Print Like they Look

I'm putting some papers (so to speak) on the Web. I've gotten them to
display pretty much the way they look on paper. Here's an example:
http://www.efn.org/~bsharvy/rsharvy/whostosay.html

However, printing the page from Explorer (Windows) doesn't work quite
right. Text is shifted too far to the right, and the right edge of
words is sometimes cut off. Is there a way to make it print correctly
(not counting conversion to PDF)?

It may be because your server is sending the file rstexts.css as
text/plain instead of text/css.

Have your server administrator update the MIME type for css.

In my Gecko browsers, your page is unstyled.
