css suppress printing of individual elements?

Is there any equivalent to {display: none} such as {print: none} ?

I'd like to have an element visible on screen, but suppressed in printouts.
For these purposes, it only need work in Win IE 5.5 / 6

I've tried white text with a coloured background, but IE helpfully prints
the text a shade of grey so I can still read it once the background has been
knocked out.

Any suggestions?

TIA, Julz

Use display: none, but put it in a Print CSS file.

Ah, sadly this was for my Print CSS file - I was hoping to have an
instruction visible on screen but non-printing...

This article might be (or might have been ;-) helpful:

There are an awful lot of resources in the Dreamweaver Community that
one sometimes overlooks. It pays to expand your quests to places like
Projectseven, as well as Communitymx.com when you're stumped.

Happy hunting (and printing)
