Printing webpages?

[Carrie]

How do you print a webpage without having the right side cut off. Some
websites print fine others get cut off. I try to look in File, then Print,
to click "shrink to fit", but I don't get even get that as an option?

I suppose you need to use a browser that supports that option if your
printer driver doesn't.

Blame it on the website designer. Sometimes there's nothing you can do.

I might add another pet peeve with web site designers. Often all
the information you want printed is contained on the first page
but, if you just print you get further irrelevant stuff.

I know you can go to the print menu and select page 1 but it is
not possible to do that automatically, AFAIK.

We could probably write a book on what not to do on a website but this isn't
the right place.

I disagree that "there's nothing you can do reg. the right side cut-off". A
PC screen at 4:3 or 16:9 is wider than it's long, a paper page, as normally
used in portrait mode, is narrow and long. The solution is to go to page
setup and chose "landscape" orientation when printing webpages. Then all will
fit.

Another possibility is to go into the Advanced print options. Many
printers, but not all, have the ability to scale the print. It might
take some experimentation, but usually I find the between 70% and 90%
scaling will get a page to fit.

Thank you for your information. FYI-the website I was trying to print from
was Microsoft Office assistance/work essentials.

That doesn't the site immune from a bad design.
