Page keeps getting cut-off when printed. How to adjust?

[Guest]

I developed a webpage, but everytime I print it, it keeps getting cut off on
the sides. How can I make it so it will print properly without adjusting my
web-page? I also do not want to have a "printer friendly" button, or have to
create an alternate page for them to go to. What's the easiest route?
Thanks in advance!

Printers generally expect 600px in width, but that is for FIXED width. If
you build your web in variable width format, with the entire width as 100%
rather than pixels, then as long as your images and left navigation (assuming
you have it) don't exceed the 600 px width, you should print just fine.

To meet your requirements, your only option is to provide instructions to users on how to adjust
their printer margins so the full page will print.

The easiest root would be to create a separate page for printing that is no more than 620 pixels
wide, with just the header and footer.

Is there an option for the page to be in Variable width format? I'm looking
as I write, but I'm not finding anything. Would this also solve my problem
of different computer screens moving text around, and nothing being the same
for each screen? Thanks for the quick response!! Props to you!

So you would recommend just creating that second page and have a link
connecting the two if they want to print?

Actually, if your page is moving around, it seems it is already IN variable
width format. Can you give us a URL to look at?

You would place your content in a table were the width is defined as 100% or less, and all images
must be 620 pixels or less in width or all image on the same line/row/column must not in total
exceed 620 pixels.

Your problem is the header - it's 980px wide, and you're doomed on printing
without cut-off because of it. I didn't scroll down to check for footer or
any other obstacles, as the width of the header alone prohibits what you're
trying to do.

1. Why are you using Frames?
2. You have a width set 811 pixels:

<div style="position: absolute; width: 811px;

A print stylesheet would solve all of these problems.
