lines truncated when printing web pages

A few websites I visit have lines of text which are cut
off at the right hand end when I print them (they show
properly on screen).

The problem is not fixed by telling the printer to print
at less than 100% size.

I can work around it by telling the printer it is printing
large US legal page size and using 85% size, but this is
tedious.

Is there a way to set the browser up so this problem
doesn't happen?

I look forward to ideas.

This is a web page design problem, not local to your machine.
You could try to reduce the print margins? but usually this does not pick up
all the text, the other option is to print in landscape?
Settings are found at IE>file>page set-up.
 
Hi,

No, there isn't another way. If the web designer decided that the table on
his page (or any other element) is x pixels wide, it will try to print so.
Zoom reduction is the only thing you can do, apart from pasting the page in
a Word document.
