There are at least three things that you must do to achieve this -
1. Rigidly control your page's horizontal space usage. Have no 'lines'
wider than ~624px (or, if using percents, 100% - although a 100% table with
an image > 624px wide will blow things out).
2. Remember that background images are *not* printed by (browser) default,
and consider this when building your pages.
3. Study how to use print media stylesheets to modify the printed page's
appearance (hiding some elements, and showing some other elements) as
desired. This may come in handy when grappling with #1 above to hide
over-width content.
