  Why isn’t there any print style sheet? ? ?
  Then I buy the custom format and it says right in the CSS instructions I CAN’T USE @MEDIA TAGS TO MAKE MY OWN.

  Print style sheet should be in every blog it is not an optional kind of thing.

  And what am I paying extra for if the the only formatting I can do is borders and colors?

  If you need a print stylesheet we have a few themes that come with them – Twenty Eleven, Coraline, and Twenty Ten.

  I am using toolbox and I do really need one.
  Something as simple as this would be enough in the media print.
  #content {display:block;width:100%;}
  #main .widget-area { display:block;width:100%;}

  You can override your default style sheets with the Custom Design upgrade, but I don’t believe that even then you can override the print stylesheet. As coffeemanmatt suggests, if you desire this feature on a WordPress.com blog, you’ll need to use one of the themes he links to.

  It turns out if you can edit the CSS you can add the “@media print” directive. I thought it said you can’t but I have it working nicely now.
  I must have misunderstood the CSS instructions.
  Sorry all,
