I should have been more clear. The source in my post is not from
http://www.listyblue.com/main.php but from
http://www.listyblue.com/makelist.php. But you need to have some content
for the latter to format to see the effect, hence needing to go to main.php
first.
It definitely picks up the print.css as I have a color: ref directive in
their for <h1> and it does turn red in print preview (and the <ul> directive
is processed too).
