Randy,
as far as I remember (can't find back where I read it though...) IE did have 
problems printing png's, or maybe only png's with transparancy. The fact that 
they print alright from another program already suggest that the failure is 
IE's, not mapserver's or anything else.
Solutions: upgrade IE, or use another browser, or copy the image to clipboard 
if you want to print it and open it in another program, or just plainly save 
it to disk and open in another program.
If upgrading IE helps, you know for sure that it was IE's fault.

Probably version 6 was printing correctly otherwise you would have noticed, I 
suppose....
