@DaveSWFeb 20.2006 — you can define a print stylesheet

http://www.alistapart.com/articles/goingtoprint/

but I don't think there is much if any support for changing the page orientation through css.

@mrhooFeb 22.2006 — Write a special stylesheet and set its link media attribute to print:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="css/hooprint.css" />

this style sheet is only seen by the printer- there are a lot of unsupported

properties in the spec; but you can control the width of the body and other elements:

body{width:8.5in;padding:1.25in;font-size:12px}

Test your css by using the 'print-view' menu in all of the browsers you can find.

@felgallFeb 22.2006 — Preview the page before printing and if it is too wide to print then switch your paper orientation to landscape before printing and complain to the site owner about their poor page design.

Success!
