    Forgot to say.....

    I'm not sure if it works in this case for two reasons:

    1) I don't know if a device looking for a DTD can get redirected.
    2) Printers shouldn't be retrieving DTDs for every print job anyway.

    Jim:

    I could easily put redirect code at that URL:

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>XHTML-Print DTD Redirect</title>
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=
    http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/DTD/xhtml-print10.dtd">
    </head>
    <body>
    <p></p>
    </body>
    </html>

    but I'm not sure if redirects work in this case.

           breaks current implementations.

    The W3C Last Call Working Draft of XHTML-Print [1] changes the URL in the
    DOCTYPE from
    "http://www.xhtml-print.org/xhtml-print/xhtml-print10.dtd" to
    "http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/DTD/xhtml-print10.dtd".

    This breaks compatibility with existing implementations. Can this situation
    be handled by redirecting the xhtml-print.org url to the w3.org url? If
    so,
    how is this done?
