When I print off the internet via my laptop, the page doen't print as shown on the screen. The right hand edge off the page shown disapears of the right edge of my A4 paper.

Have tried all the print/printer set up options. I think!

Please help before I stamp on my laptop!

When I print off the internet


What... all of it??

Anyhooo, i get the same problem. I usually print it landscape instead. Have a hunt around for a printer friendly button on the webpage (like ted puts on the news here).

Or just copy it into word or something.

Sounds like there's something too wide in the web page - anything over about 570 pixels wide will be cut off. An A4 page is 210mm wide or 8.26 inches and at screen resolution of 72dpi this equates to 595 pixels. Once you allow for non-printable area you're left with 570 pixels. If anything on the page is wider than that you're outta luck unless you can print the page landscape instead of portrait. Alternatively, if it's a frames-based site, try printing just the frame with the content you need. Last resort is to save the page and hand edit it to strip out anything too wide or reset any table sizes to fit.

Try highlighting/selecting the bits you want to print then click the 'print selection' button in the dialogue box.

May or may not work.

You can try highlight the item and save as.
Once the item has been saved use a word processing program and insert it into a document. Then print from there.
