Thanks for all your help. 

I am trying your option e:

e) Do you really need to exclude Netscape 4? Think of other
   ways for doing it.
   What about excluding JS and CSS files? They are small,
   this might be an option. Netscape 4 _can_ handle com-
   pressed HTML, it just cannot print it. Maybe you need
   some "printable version" of your pages that are most
   likely to be printed; this might be done by providing
   some alias name or UNIX symbolic link for the file
   with a name pattern that would match to some "exclude"
   directive.

About 1.5% of requests are from Netscape 4. JS and CSS files are excluded.
I'll see if I get any complaints about printing from Netscape 4 users. Maybe
if they have problems they will upgrade their browsers.
