Well.. all things considered.. I've come to a conclusion.

The content of my page is Linux-oriented; only about 14 % of
the visitors use IE. I'll redesign it to make it IE-compatible
wherever I can (like avoiding ">" and "+" in selectors, by
creating some extra classes).

But changing from css layout to table layout, just to enable
printing in IE, is too much (i.e. too much work now, and too much
work in the future while maintaining the page). I'll just use a
"conditional comment" (if that's what it's called) to make
everything "ragged right" for IE users, with @media print. That
will produce acceptable (although IMHO not optimal) printing
behaviour for these users.

Thanks all, and especially Yucca, for the stimulating discussion.
