Most pages will resize to fit whatever they're displayed/printed on.

One major exception to this are pages that contain images - which are fixed at the size they were created. If an image is placed on a page so that it would extend over the RHS of the screen/page then the page is widened to fit the image - the image isn't shrunk to fit the page.

You could save the page, edit the HTML to take out the offending image and then try printing again. Or, as you said, switch to landscape format to print this page.

This often happens to me while printing out orders/invoices from web-based suppliers. Why web designers never bother to try this out defeats me. It gets really irritating when the problem is caused by a silly top bar in fancy graphics.
