How can I create a PRINTER FRIENDLY page?

[Guest]

I have many pages on my website with important info. I would like to make it
easy for someone to print the pages in a format that they could easily read
(and the information is not cut-off).

I would appreciate all help.

Thank you,

One way is to use JavaScript. See
http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/javascript_print_page.asp for an
example.

You can also take a look at these sites for other code examples:

Using javascript to create print-friendly pages is like using a 3 pound
sledge to drive finishing nails, in my opinion. 8)

A much more practical approach would be the one recommended on the flyte
link. Or to just make sure that you place no content with explicit widths
greater than about 620px on your page as you are building it....
