Complex Print CSS problem

hi

i took a look at the other thread regarding Print CSS, and think that my problem is a little more intense :frowning:

to cut a long story short i am working on the CSS for a large company who has reports of ‘best buy’ items. now, prior to launch we wanted to pull the printCSS as it was breaking some pages - but instead we included it, but cut down.

now, when you print the pages in Ffox - it looks absolutely fine, and prints out fantastically. however, when you print it in IE:m: it goes completely **** up! no styling at all - random image placement - random pages printing. nightmare.

all i can think is that the html is going through Rhythmyx CMS system, which is rendering the html in such a way that the browser is spazzing out!! :fight:

here is what the CMS is spitting out in the header of the page(s) in question:
href="/static/css/print.css" media=“print” rel=“stylesheet”/>
<style type=“text/css”>
@import url(/static/css/master.css);
@import url(/static/theme/orange/css/theme.css);

@import url(/static/css/green.css);
@import url(/static/css/ppstyles.css);
@import url(/static/css/tour.css);
@import url(/static/css/SMstyles.css);
</style>
