Printing web pages

[Robert Smith]

Can someone tell me how I can print the whole of a web page. Everytime I
want to print a page the right hand side of the page is chopped off. Even if
I set my Epson 870 to fit to page I still lose a big chunk of the writing .
It seems that the page I am printing is always too big for my printer

I had the same problem, but it did not bother me that much as i did not
need the right hand side, the document that i wanted was in the middle.
Try and see if you can save the whole web page either as a text or
html file and see what it looks like on your browser or word processor
program. this might give you a hint on why you cant do it. i was gonna
give it a try, but never had time to try it and forgot about it until i
read your post. hope this helps.

Assuming it is a normal reasonable well designed web page,
then the likely problem is that your browser's text size is set too large.
Use MS IE menu View - Text Size to set the text size smaller. That also
affects printed size, and how it fits a page of paper.

Then use MS IE menu File - Print Preview, to see what the page will look
like, before you print it. If it still does not fit (horizontally, some web
pages are very long), then reduce your text size more, until it does fit.
You can also reduce your printed paper margins at menu File - Page Setup, to
leave a bit more room for larger text.

Could be that the page uses frames, and only one frame is being
printed. Is the right hand side that is chopped off at toolbar, or
some different 'section' than what is printing?

If you select print in IE and the page uses frames, it should give you
the option to print the selected frame, all frames, etc. If you want
to print the whole page, select "all frames".

Of course it's hard to tell without seeing the specific page, but this
could very well be it...

Not sure what browser you are using but IE 5.5 onwards has a print preview
facility
that I find extremely useful.
