I have Slimbrowser and I think maybe it is that that is causing my not
printing the right side. Does anyone else use Slimbrowser and have the same
problem. It cuts off the right side of the document on the majority of
websites. I don't want to have to print everything on landscape.

Not a SlimBrowser specific problem. This can happen in any browser.

I think I was the one who suggested SlimBrowser to you in the first
place. I can't remember ever printing from SlimBrowser or any other
browser. Is there a site in particular you are asking about? I can
certainly try it and see what happens on this end.

I just tried a test here and noticed if I try to print a page that
requires me to scroll horizontally, that I only get the portion of the
page from the left edge to the point that I would have to start
scrolling. Are the pages in question wider than your screen resolution
is set for? You might try an experiment and resize your screen to the
next highest resolution for your video card, then go back to the page
and try printing. I have to use 800x600 screen resolution due to poor
eye sight problems and lack of a newer pair of glasses. If you
interested in only the text on a page, you could simply highlight the
text and then choose the "print selection" instead of "print all"
option from your print screen.

On further experimentation, it appears the problem may be with
Internet Explorer. SlimBrowser is basically a "skin" for the IE
browser. I tried printing a printing a page that's wider than my
screen and it did cutoff the right side using IE, also. Trying in
FireFox printed correctly.

So, to make a long story short, it does appear that SlimBrowser has a
problem because IE has a problem. If you really need to print
everything and copy and paste to a text editor inn't adequate, it
lookl like you might need to install a browser that you can use for
printing only. FireFox appears to work fine, and it's free.
 
Thank you so much for your ideas. You asked what I was printing when this
happens. It is mostly ebay and all email. I have even noticed it in Word -
but I might have screwed that one up.
Thank you.
