    web page is too wide for printer
    « on: February 29, 2008, 06:21:20 PM »
    (2000 pro) My web pages are too wide. I must scroll right to read them. My main problem is that the printer only prints the left approx. 80% no matter where the left right scroll is located. Is there some way to fix this?

    What browser, including version, are you using?

    For printing, try landscape, instead of portrait.

      right click on desktop and click properties the on the screen that comes up click advanced then set the screen resolution higher and click apply if present. See if this solves your screen size problem.

        Thanks for the replies
        The browser is internet explorer. Version 6.0.2800.1106.
        Going to landscape does not help.
        Could not change resolution per your instructions. When I clicked on settings I got a window that had (archive and index) and (compress or encrypt).
        However my son told me how to do it. Right click on the screen background, click properties, click settings and change resolution. This made the left right scroll bar go away on the web page but no one told the printer. It still only prints the left 80% on both portrait and landscape.

        Try Firefox.

        In IE, go to File, Page Setup, and reduce the right and left margin.  That will probably solve the problem.
