One of my users came up with an interesting problem:
"When I print out webpages, oftentimes the printed output cuts off a good portion of the right margin altogether. I checked in Print Preview, it looks as if the rendered webpage is cropping off lots of the right side which results is my mis-printed output"
In my investigation I came to realize that webpages, in their very construction, when compared to letter-sized paper, usually have much wider aspect ratios than what the printed output could possible render.

My question is:
Is there a way to capture all aspects of a webpage, images, text, colors, etc., for subsequent printing output that replicates exactly what is seen onscreen?

Thanks

In the Print box (or sometimes Print Preferences) make sure you check the
"Scale to fit" box and you should be OK.

HPLJ4050 printers don't have a "Scale to Fit" box in the printer
settings...

Any suggestions?

You are correct in that it is a web page design problem, printing in
landscape with margins stretched to the limit IE>file>page set-up usually
grabs it all?
cut/paste into Word?
A print utility claims to be able to re-scale, it is FinePrint from:
