I want the user to be able to print a hard copy of a web page.

But when the user presses the print button on their browser, the right hand
side of the page is cut-off.

This is a common problem on the web, most notably with Microsoft Knowledge
Base articles. But can it be reliably prevented?

My page is very basic, everything is contained in a single-column table and
the paragraphs are indented with <BLOCKQUOTE> tags. There are no frames or
multiple columns for banners or menus.

What can I do to avoid Right-Hand cut-off when printing?

Make sure the page content is no wider than the default print settings
~600px.

Take a page like this:
http://www.fleetwoodclub.org/application.htm
and make a print page like this:
http://www.fleetwoodclub.org/applprint.htm
This page is set at 624 pixels wide and will print on 90% of regular
printers.
Notice the option at the top of the 1st page to get this print page.

We get about 50 of these printed a day from the site.

Yes, that works nicely.
