The problem is that we are including the screen styles more than once,
and the second time it's after the print style is defined.

Section A:
		<style type="text/css" media="screen, projection">/*<![CDATA[*/
			@import "/skins/common/shared.css?164";
			@import "/skins/monobook/main.css?164";
		/*]]>*/</style>
Section B:
		<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print"
href="/skins/common/commonPrint.css?164" />
Section C:
		<style type="text/css">/*<![CDATA[*/
@import "/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.css&usemsgcache=yes&action=raw&ctype=text/css&smaxage=18000";
@import "/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Monobook.css&usemsgcache=yes&action=raw&ctype=text/css&smaxage=18000";
@import "/index.php?title=-&action=raw&gen=css&maxage=18000&useskin=monobook";
/*]]>*/</style>

The inclusion of section C without any media type is overwriting parts
of the commonPrint.css and messing with the margins, making every page
unprintable. When I remove this element (using Firebug in Firefox) the
printing is much improved. It messes up the display of the language
bar, so I wonder if it's been put there to make the language chooser
work.

Anyway, it's a problem, and hopefully this will help one of the devs
figure out what's gone wrong. I've printed plenty from the wiki in the
past, so I suspect something has changed.

Cheers,
