fit to page printing

[BBran]

Hello,

Many pages in IE, even with small or medium text, are cut off on the right side when printed. How does one get these pages to fit an 8-1/2" x 11" page of paper?

Regards,

Hi Bob

This is a know problem in IE and planned to be fixed in the next version.
However, there are a few things you can try as a work around at this point.

This problem with some Webpages is caused by the coding on the site. Try
choosing a smaller text size at View>Text Size. If that does not allow all
the text to print on the page you will have to change the page orientation
to Landscape to print.

.....also see the following information:

Try FinePrint (trial version) I have used it for years.
http://www.fineprint.com/products/fineprint/index.html

"Trial version prints a small banner on each page. Purchasing will remove
the banner".

All it says is 'printed by fineprint' at the bottom of each page. (I didn't
mind that).
