Simply built a new page containly only the material that needs to be printed
and link to it from the original more complicted page. Probably put
everything in a single table about 640 pixels wide, aligned left. Experimant
with your printer.
ETC

Paul,

If you're up to it, you could look at using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to
accomplish this. The nifty thing about this solution is that you don't have
to create multiple pages. A single page can display differently based on
whether it's being displayed in the browser vs. displayed in print (or on a
PDA, etc.).

And for some basics on CSS:

This article gives an interesting solution using CSS and JavaScript:

Good luck!
