Often, when I print a web page, the right side is cut off. I once read the
solution. Can someone please aim me to the answer?

Thanks, Terry

There is no real solution with IE6. This is caused by the way the web
site is coded (to look better on the screen without regard for
printing). Firefox's "Print Preview" has a "Shrink to Fit" option. I
understand that IE7 may as well, but I haven't installed IE7.

Otherwise, you can attempt to work around the problem by using Page
Setup to set the margins to minimums (set to 0 and they will be reset to
minimum) or to print in landscape mode. Neither of these solutions is
particularly satisfying.
 
Yes, IE7 does do a "shrink to fit", but that usually winds up in posts
complaining about a web page printout being so tiny its almost impossible to
read. There's almost no way to win at this game...
