On an Intranet app (sorry, I have no URL to show you) I have a separate
print style sheet vs style sheet for viewing on the monitor. The main
difference is that in the print sheet, I tell the table that the info is in
to be only 600px wide.

It works perfectly on my system. However, the boss is having problems. When
he goes to print, it is much wider, which means that it gets cut off.

I assume that this is either something in his browser which is overriding my
print style sheet, or something with his printer. Well, I had him print to
my printer, and the same problem occurs. In fact, he can simply go to Print
Preview and he sees that it's cutting it off. So it is something on his
machine. Is there an IE setting or something that is telling it to override
the print style sheet? Is there any other setting on his computer or browser
that I can check?

You haven't mentioned Fonts yet. A difference there could make
a big difference in width required to display or print something.

Use View Source to look for detailed clues.


Good luck

Nah, that wasn't it. Not surprising, actually, because the printouts show
the same sinze font anyway. Just looks like the table width is being
ignored.
