Style Rendering with a DW Template

Question

QUESTION: What must one include with the window.print( )
method in order to invoke a cascading style sheet for printing?
BACKGROUND: I have an <a> that includes an onclick
attribute. When the <a> tag is clicked, a function is called
that triggers the window.print( ) method. This event opens the
print menu for my computer's operating system. I want the style
sheet set for online viewing to be dropped and the style sheet set
for printing to be invoked when this event is triggered.
CAUTION: All of the above must occur within the context of a
template document that will eventually be used to produce the XHTML
document to be viewed and printed.

No you aren't. Like what control?
