Your page and the www.nvu.org/Features.html do indeed print if loaded
into konqueror but not in mozilla-firefox or mozilla-navigator.  As I
use Firefox 99.9% of the time, I did not even think about using
konqueror.  My bad.

Very odd that nvu uses the Mozilla Gecko engine and yet its output
doesn't print when using it's brother browsers.  :-(

I guess I have my answer.

Thanks again Roberto.

Plug-and-Play is really nice, unfortunately it only works 50% of the time.
To be specific the "Plug" almost always works.            --unknown source
