How to print out very wide web pages
Please accept this posting as appropriate to this ng, because it is very
much a printer problem. I have tried an Internet Explorer ng but everyone seems to have died on there. I am continually having problems printing-out badly designed web site pages where the lines are extremely wide, so that when printed one can lose as much as 25 per cent of the text. I have tried numerous ways to overcome this problem but all without success. It is particularly annoying where they are using frames and the text at the left hand side comes out perfectly but you don't want that, whilst the right-hand side is missing! The printers being used are an HP LaserJet 4 and HP 840C Deskjet. I imagine that the answer lies in adjusting the software somewhere but I have found it quite impossible to solve. Eric |

My solution eric to "big" pages is to simply use the printer's setup and set
it to a reduced print scale such as 80% or something. There are a couple of ways to do this, one is via, the browser itself and click on print preview, and then click on the little gear icon next to print, and then click on the printer button and then the page set up window comes up and choose your printer and then click on properties...and under the paper/quality tab you should see an advance button, click on that and look in middle of list "graphic and you will see "scaling" change the value to a value less than 100% and click ok, and you should see the print preview reflect this.

First suggestion: Print landscape instead of portrait. Second: Don't print the whole page, just highlight the part you want to print and print "selection." - Max -- MisterMax Slideshows of Angkor Wat, Bali, Crete, Maui, Malaysia, Morocco, Sicily (new), St Tropez, Thailand, Tour de France: http://buten.net/max/ (Yes,RemoveDoubles is part of my email address.

I think this is a new feature in IE6... -- Regards, Jay Freedman |

Print landscape and use "legal size paper in your printer (8.5x14) don't forget
to select proper paper size in setup. |

Very many thanks, folks, for some really helpful replies. I will certainly
be trying them out as soon as I get a chance. This goes to confirm my conviction that this is one of the best ngs. I have had some great responses over the last year on some really awkward problems. Thanks again Eric |

I had same problem with one web page. Solution is in most cases
simple, use alternative browser. In my case mozilla worked right. Jan |
