If all you're using is IE and printing, you maybe be able to just run IE
under wine.  See: ies4linux, http://www.tatanka.com.br/ .  There isn't an
ebuild for it, but one isn't needed anyways.  The browser functions fine
under wine (ie7 works too, but you don't get the fancy interface, just the
new engine), but I don't have a printer, so have yet to test printer
functionality.
