First off, although I am building the page in question with PHP, I recognize that this issue may revolve more around HTML instead. If this is the case, please shift this topic into the HTML forum, if that is possible.

I'm trying to use PHP to imitate the style of a print-based form, at my boss's request. However, some of the lines on the PHP form wrap when in print preview, where their counterparts on the original form do not. This appears to be because the right margin on the PHP printout seems to cover the entire rightmost quarter of the page. What would I need to look into in order to figure out how to decrease that space so I could use some of it to print my lines out? Please note that this page will be viewed on multiple systems, and that I do not have access to them in order to make client-side changes; any change I can make must be server side.
 
as you surmise, this is an entirely html, css question. we cannot move the question ourselves, so i advise you to repost in forum 215

I guess you would need to work with your CSS to move the margins around.
