printing web page problem

@WebJoelOct 09.2006 — #You might have to make a seperate CSS sheet for "media" output instead of "screen" ("monitors", etc). If your screen output is intended let's say, for a 1024-px wide monitor, then printing it out as-is would cause problems as this would print wider and taller than a single sheet of 8.5 X 11 paper.

A seperate style sheet could be created that possibly strips certain layout schemes from the page (excessive borders, margins & padding, any unecessary banner-ads, etc.), while leaving all the salient data there to actually be printed within the confines of a page-sized format.

I don't know exactly how to do this myself, but have had to make for instance, a direction map on a web page be the [I]only part[/I] that prints out (leaving the other web-page stuff off of the printed page). -Basically, it wasn't a 'print page' function, but I made 'just the map, and text data that accompanies the map' be the sole material the is sent to the printer on-demand.

This might give you some ideas, or help frame questions that others are better skilled to answer.

@oadamsonauthorOct 10.2006 — #Thanks for your reply and advice. I think what you said is consistent with what I already found out that by removing some of the extra design along the sides in the layout things got back to normal. Why this would happen I don't understand, especially in landscape mode as the paper was plenty wide to print out everything. Possible bug somewhere?

Thanks
