Printable web pages
I'm having problems printing my web site. It was designed as a 800x600 resolution site but when someone goes to print it, it cut off the sides. Is there any way to automatically adjust the size of the web site so that when someone goes to print it no matter what size resolutions their screen is set at, will be able to print the document to fit on the page when printed?
Please help!

is it only one printer having this problem ? if so check/adjust margins, does your printer options have a word wrap setting?
if not, are you using any tags or anything?

If you have your site set to an absolute table width, it won't scale for printing. Sorry.

does that mean that I have to have my table set to a percent instead of an absolute width? Will that automatically adjust it for printing?

Is your printer set up for portrait or landscape?
Also, what is your screen resolution set at?
Mine is at 800x600 and it cuts off
Thanks for your help

I printed it from 800x600
try set your table width to 100% and try print it, if it doesnt cut any off then set width to your desired width, if it still cuts it off, then ummm not sure

Thank you everyone for your help. I found that setting my table up at 100% instead of a fixed pixel size helped. I set the inside table up to 70% and it printed out the same on all the different screen resolutions. Thank you again, this made my boss very happy.
