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.
