Printing web pages

I just tried selecting the relevant stuff, & then printing 'selection'. Worked for me with both an old Panasonic laser and an HP inkjet.

Peter & Tim many thanks for the rapid reponses. Tim, oddly, when I select what I want and tell it to print, it still gives me the width issue, however Peter has wrapped it up in a .pdf with some magic software wizardry and kindly emailed it to me. What an excellent bunch of chaps we have on this group !!

Use Firefox as your browser instead of Microsoft's dire offering and you can scale your printed output as you wish.

Have you tried to do it in "Page setup"?

Mike, IE seems to ignore the settings and truncate the page when printed

... Ah! Unlike Firefox

Both Firefox and the newest version of IE can shrink the page to fit.

Setting the printer to print Landscape should do the trick Andrew.

Printing should revert to Portrait automatically next time you switch it on.

Well worth having a look at a small program called fine print. Lets you condense pages and also delete those odd pages at the end with nothing but a header and footer on them. Can do 2 up, 4 up and double sided.

Also does booklets in the right order. Well worth the few quid.

I totally agree, I have been using Fineprint for many years, a good investment. Allows me to print manufacturers instructions for a customer double sided to save paper and make the print physically smaller. I can apply a footer at print time - Footer reads "Supplied by etc etc Phone Number"

Also PDF Factory from the same company creates a PDF from anything that you can print. I supply circuit diagrams to customers in this manner.

I get this quite often; simplest solution is to print in landscape

Use Firefox - web page printing in IE stinks.

EDIT:

for PDF output, use PDFCreator from SourceForge (free):
