Printing webpages. AAAGGGGGHHHH!!
 

I'm having so much trouble with printing webpages its not true. I cant for the life of me get either FF or IE to print webpages so they fit widthwise on an A4 sheet of paper.

If I print a webpage out it just misses the edge off, it never used to do this and I cant find an option to fix it.

Can anyone help? I've attached a PDF showing what I mean. I'm running XP home with SP2.

Have you checked your printer options, page setup in FF and IE etc?

Re: Printing webpages. AAAGGGGGHHHH!!
 

Can't see an option that would help. :( :cry:

Re: Printing webpages. AAAGGGGGHHHH!!
 

In Firefox, under the file menu I have page setup, and in there I have shrink to fit page width.
Think there is something similar in IE. Have seen the same problems at times though so I don't know if it's dependant on the page being coded properly.

you could print in landscape instead of portrait

Re: Printing webpages. AAAGGGGGHHHH!!
 

Sometimes webpages don't fit on A4 portrait and you have to, as zingle suggests, print in A4 landscape. See File... Page Setup

does it look ok in 'print preview' Shaun, or is it still pushed over to the right?

on my pc the page looks fine in 'print preview' , using Firefox - and with it set on 'shrink to fit page width' it can be toggled between portrait & landscape, with no problem...

Well I found that option in FF and it works, but I couldn't find an option like that in IE so looks like I'm another convert!

Cheers for the suggestions guys :)

It still shoots off the right in print preview (in IE) but seems to print great in FF!! Strange, its never used to do this :erm:

At least it works in FF then, might just be how it's coded but who knows lol :tu:

Re: Printing webpages. AAAGGGGGHHHH!!
 

oh well, at least you can get it printed out, now - It's a great page, by the way :tu:

My Canon bubblejet came with a tool called Easy Web-Print which did something similar for IE - you can download it from their website. I don't know if it works with other printers.

I seem to recall printing them to PDF before, on a larger size & then priting that from Acrobat.

Apart from that is ******es off lots of people.

Luckily mines a Canon Smart-base MP360 so I'll have to have a look on their site - cheers for the info. Greenys all round :)

Buy some letter paper?

Re: Printing webpages. AAAGGGGGHHHH!!
 

A possible solution (although a bit long winded) could be to use ALT+Print Screen to do a screen capture and then paste that into Photoshop or similar.
