We had a similar problem, on Netscape/2.x running on Sun/Solaris boxes. What we eventually did was submitted the form with an extra checkbox saying to return the form contents formatted appropriately for printing and then printed the document as returned. You actually get a lot more control over the formatting of the form data if you use this method - we used an HTML template which we parsed the form data into before returning the HTML to the browser.
