     Printing from webpages    

 

 

screens, printers, and web pages all conspire to make our lives difficult...

When I print out a web page, why is the right hand side of the page chopped off?

This is a common glitch, due to different screen resolutions, web browsers, and printers people have. 

The solution is to print the pages in landscape (wide) rather than portrait (tall) format. 

Select  File | Print from your menu bar, then in Printer Properties ensure that landscape is selected, then try printing again.

What are "Frames"? Some websites use Frames on their pages. This means that the page you are viewing is really made up of several little webpages.

Your printer needs to know whether you want to print just one frame, or the whole screen you can see - you can choose this from the dialog box that pops up...

Is there a quick way to print? Often in Windows you can press control-P (i.e. hold the Ctrl key down then press P at the same time), as a shortcut to selecting the File menu then Print, but not always.
