<td height="155" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div align="left"><font
face="Copperplate Gothic Light, Copperplate Gothic Bold" color="#003300"
size="5">CURRENT RELEASES </font></div>
<hr>
<hr>

The title and the <hr> lines appear in the middle of the table.

Check out in the browser.....

Actually the HR elements are outside the DIV where you specified the
left-align attribute. The horizontal rules aren't left-aligned. They are
center-aligned (as per the align=center attribute in the TABLE element) but
then horizontal rules extend the width of their display area so they really
aren't aligned left, right, or center.

When I view your web page, "CURRENT RELEASES" is left aligned. So why use a
DIV for the cell's content to left align it versus using the align=left
attribute within the TD element itself?

Your markup has errors also.

It not a matter of the left align....

When my client looks at it in their browser it is showing up in the middle
of the table behind the print.

This is not a simple html issue....

So it isn't your issue. It's how some client configured their web browser.
How do you know the client hasn't used a magnification or font size that is
going to screw up the alignment of all your elements? I can't address how
your client might've misconfigured their web browser. Way too many
variables there.
