Thanks Damián, this is exactly what I looked for.
I changed the used stylesheet to apply the settings only for the screen
media, the print media doesn't contain any special colouring or width
settings (plain HTML).
A quick test in Iceweasel (aka Firefox ;-)) seemed to work. Opening the
page normally shows the known format, when using the print preview
the stylesheet isn't used and so no width limiations.

Regards,
Enrico
