In the case of a printer friendly stylesheet, I use the following:

/* screen style */
.print_only { display: none; }

/* print stylesheet */
div.print_only { display: block; }
span.print_only { display: inline; }
.no_print { display: none; }

I used this when I needed to print a form containing values and the input fields were difficult to print. So I added the values wrapped in a span.print_only tag (div.print_only was used elsewhere) and then applied the .no_print class to the input fields. So on-screen you would see the input fields and when printed, only the values. If you wanted to get fancy you could use JS to update the values in the span tags when the fields were updated but that wasn't necessary in my case. Perhaps not the the most elegant solution but it worked for me!
