local style sheet override for printing web page?

[guy <guy -at- hiskeyboard -dot- com>]

When I find a web page I'd like to print out for offline perusal (often 
in places where it is less than convenient to take along a laptop), I 
find that the typical three-column layout of pages styled by CSS leads 
to paper-wasting printouts.  Take, for example,

http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2003/04/09/SemanticMarkup

That has a lovely layout, but would take 6 pages to print, because of 
the arrangement that limits long-flow content to the middle 3/5 of the 
page.  IF the CSS let the main text flow wider after the left and right 
insets, that would not be TOO bad.

But isn't there a way (preferably in Mozilla) for the local browser to 
specify a CSS for print media that overrides the CSS specified by the 
author?
