Lately most of my printing is cut off on the right side. Am I missing a
setting? Please one of you gentle people tell me how to print w/o the cutoff
in print. I'm wasting too much paper. IS there a setting where I can leave
out the graphic stuff and just print the writing? I guess I need a helping
hand..........Opa Peter

Hi Peter,

You can set the printer to print "landscape". That will print the right side
of the page as well. Alternately, in most cases, you can copy and paste to
an appropriate program and print from there. It seems that I have seen other
ways but, these come to mind.

HTH, JAX

Some web pages are too wide so they won't properly print.

Another thought, some web-pages offer a "print friendly" version. It is
often offered at the very bottom of the page, sometimes top.

Hi, the correct way to fix it is to set the Print Margins to 0.25 for the
left and right side.

Highlight what you want to print. Then go to file/print/selection

Some people suggested using langscape mode.

What about a more general solution?

Say the page will display in a narrow window, so that it
would be possible to print the page without problems.

What can I do to get Microsoft Internet Explorer to automatically
make the web page think that it has to display the page in a form
suitable for what the printer thinks is the displayable width?

In other words, when my IE window is 10 inches wide the right side
of the page is cut off, however if I narrow the IE window so that
it is the 7.5 inch width of the printable area on my printer then
everything appears on the printed page.

Internet Explorer already uses multiple pages if things don't
fit vertically.

How can I get Internet explorer to get things to print correctly
either by pretending to change the window width or using multiple
printer pages horizontally as well as vertically?

Hi Mark,

There is always PrtScn. You can do a screen-shot and print it.
