Adding css style to window.print() without @media print

Question

@media print is having issues with IE. And my application has to run with IE. I would like to know whether there is any way around to apply the style other than the known method with @media printer?

I have a huge list of styles to be applied when printing the page. The page to be printed is the current page loaded in tomcat web application.

Instead of media queries you can use new file for print styles.

<link rel="stylesheet" media="print" href="print.css">

It works fine in old browsers too.

when you specify media="print" its for @media print which is not what I was asking.

I meant you don't want to use media queries, which don't work min older IEs. There is no other way how to set styles for print.

Whether it's in @media print or media="print", print is still a media query (or more specifically a media query consisting of only a media type). That's the point. It should work in IE either way.
