web page printig problem

[Guest]

System:
HP Business Inkjet 2250tn
latest drivers per HP's driver check utility

Windows XP Pro SP1; all updates except SP2
IE 6, sp1
Celeron 850 MHZ
256 MB ram

10 GB free

Problem:
When I try to print a web page, the right 2" or 3" is cut off.

Things I have tried:
change margins to 0.25" [ lowest accepted ];
print in "landscape";
scale to paper size - "no scaling" ;
scale to paper size - "letter size" ;
save page to Microsoft Word [ in which web page displayes properly ]hen
print.

I don't know when the problem began, because I don't remember if it was ever
possible for me to print a web page successfully.

Your attention to my problem is appreciated.

Hi,
If the page is primarily text, you could try a smaller text size- IE> View>
Text size.

If changing the text size doesn't work, try this freeware program from
http://www.visiontech.ltd.uk/software/

Internet Explorer Fitted-Width Printing

Have you ever printed a web page only to find that the right-hand edge is
missing? This is for you. First, this download page will install the
control. After installation, close the browser window and reopen a new one.
You should have a new printer icon with a small 'W' next to it on the
toolbar. Press this to bring up a print dialog which will then print the
page fitted to the width of your paper. Alternatively, hold down the Control
key while pressing the button and you will get a print preview instead.

Note: After downloading this ActiveX Object (into Downloaded Program Files)
you may have to go to IE> View> Toolbars> Customize to find and display the
icon.

Hope this helps,
Don
