Is it possible to link an XML document to one XSL file for display on the screen and another for printing?

Mmmmmmmm. Linkalicious (http://www.w3.org/Style/styling-XML#External).

For some reason, it doesn't seem to work with XSL style sheets. :-/

In just one browser, or all of the ones you can lay your hands on? Remember that Firefox ignores external entities who's address does not start with "chrome://" or something stupid like that. Maybe it's doing the same thing here?

Is your XSL being applied to all media, or not being applied at all?

It's using the XSL for the screen for both print and screen.

EDIT: Opera and IE aren't showing anything to print.

I guess they probably haven't had those bits of 'em built yet then. If you really need it, then maybe you could try a rather rough hack in sticking a link or style element in there under the xhtml namespace (remembering to to use the correct content type in the attribute, rather than text/css). Maybe that would work?

What do you mean?

Like <html:style type="text/xsl (or whatever the right type is)" media="print">@import url(print_styles.css);</style>

I know it'd be a pretty ugly work-around, but you never know, it might work.
