Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build better and bigger idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning. - Rick Cook

That's because the page is forced to be wider than a printer will print. If you look at pages that you print from the Internet from other sites, if the page isn't wider than your screen, then often the text wraps at a different spot on the printed page than on the computer screen. The page I just printed from that URL with the screen resolution at 800 x 600 starts the second line with:

"water was about to strike,"

where on the screen, the second line starts with

"about to strike,"

I've seen this a lot, and any screen resolution over 640 x 480 often prints differently than it displays.

If you make a liquid design so that the page reflows to fit your window as it resizes, the page will also reflow to properly fill a printed page.
