Printing from the internet

[Bleu]

I have noticed that when trying to print something from the Internet the right side of the page is cut off from some sites when using Internet Explorer 5.0 or lower. Are there any settings that can be changed to get the page to print correctly or do I need to upgrade Internet Explorer?

Hi Bleu - I might be on the wrong track here but can you not cure it by going to "File / Page Setup" and either altering the margins or setting the orientation to landscape?

Thanks asjeff. Changing the margins worked on the WIN2000 machine. I'm just waiting to see if it works on WIN95. Sometimes the answer can be so simple. Thanks

Actually, it's probably the web site. If the site's contents are in a table set to 100%, it prints fine because it readjusts for the printer. But if it's not in a table, it'll truncate the text.

It is a common problem in early IE with some web sites. Seems to be fixed with IE 5.5sp2, at least I haven't seen it lately. It was never a problem with Netscape - I just had users use Netscape for printing on the sites where they encountered the text truncation problem.
