How To Center Pages In IE Print Output?

Feb 22.2006

Howdy, folks!

On a site I’m building, the <div align=”center”> </div> tags do a fine job of aligning my tables in all browsers’ monitor displays, and also on the printed page output by Firefox and Netscape. However (on the WinXP platform at least) IE’s print output is not centered, cutting my content off on the right. I’ve tried centering the body in the style sheet to no avail, although my knowledge of CSS is as yet nascent. My employer prints EVERYTHING, so this is essential I fix. Does anyone know what I must do?

Thanks for your time,
Jay

...
&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;
@media all{
body {
text-align: centre;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#wrap{
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: left;
width:760px;
}
}
@media print{
#wrap {
margin: 3em;
width: 100%;
}
}
&lt;/style&gt;
...
&lt;body&gt;
&lt;div id="wrap"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Page as normal&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

Success!
