IE7 Printing

Yay! They are actually providing the much needed improved printing abilities in IE7! Things like scale-to-fit, etc.

Now, the CSS zealots will still not be satisfied, stating that you should just use a separate CSS to layout your page when printed. I say that's crap--having the browser be able to scale down like Excel does is preferred by this developer, simply because I don't have time to fart around with separate stylesheets for every possible form of rendering... Let me layout for screen (keeping my horizontal scrolling to an absolute minimum), and have the printer follow suit.
