For some reason I can't get rid of the 175px left margin. It continues to be there when I try to print the page.

Here's the default:

.twoColFixLtHdr #mainContent {
border-right-width: thin;
border-right-style: none;
border-right-color: #666699;
border-left-width: thin;
border-left-style: solid;
border-left-color: #666699;
margin-top: 10px;
margin-right: 0;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-left: 175px;
padding-top: 0;
padding-right: 20px;
padding-bottom: 0;
padding-left: 20px;
}

And the print.css version:

div #mainContent {
margin-left: 0px;

}

What am I doing wrong?

That's because you put margin-left: 175px; between {}.
You should leave it out of it, or reduce it to 0 or try -175 or something like that.

I don't think you read all the way to the bottom. I did change the left margin in my print.css file. (It's 175px in my default.css.)

.twoColFixLtHdr #mainContent {
margin-left: 175px;
}

And the print.css version:

div #mainContent {
margin-left: 0px;

}

Just a guess but shouldn't your print file be exactly the same class name?
ie... .twoColFixLtHdr #mainContent?

Agree with Sandy, the class and ID names MUST match.

That's because you put margin-left: 175px; between {}.

CSS rules belong inside braces, so it HAS to be in between.

If you're going to use this:
div #mainContent {
margin-left: 0px;

}

then it should be div#mainContent - no spaces, though the div in front likely isn't necessary at all.

Ok...I made the changes. Now everything matches. However, I still have the same problem. I can't get rid of that left margin.

In the head area of the page I have this:

<link href="print.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="print">
<link href="default.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

Is that the problem?

Normally you want to place the print stylesheet after your regular stylesheet, so that its rules will override the regular rules by default. I haven't looked closely at your code, but this is the normal way to do things.

That was it!!

Problem solved.
