I'm trying to get wider page margins than on the screen when a site is
printed. So far, I'm using

@media print {
margin-left : 200px;
margin-top : 200px;
margin-right : 200px;
margin-bottom : 200px;
}

in a linked style sheet, and nothing happens. Ideally, this will
happen in IE 5.0 and 5.5. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Try
<LINK REL="StyleSheet" HREF="style_print.css" TYPE="text/css" MEDIA="print">
while referring ur style sheet in the HTML doc?
and use the margins you want as usual in the css file for printing,

margin-bottom : 200px;
}
}

You're currently not associating with any element or object...
