Could you post a link, and we can look over your code.

I did not make myself clear and this is probably not the site to post this. When you view my site and I want to print it - the hole screen does not print. Nothing to do with code.

Thanks LAR

I have had the printer hooked up to the same computer for a couple years now. I uploaded new drivers for the printer wiht no help printing from a site. I have a Hp Photo Smart C4740. I haven't made any changes to anyhting . Yes, it is the default printer. I only go to HP and Microsoft and check for updates. I can't get it to print anything from any site I am on that I want to print an article from. I get Massage from Web Page- there was an internal error and IE is unabl;e to print this document. I tried again after I updated the drivers in my printer and got this again.

A "sanitary tee" is a specific kind of pipe fitting used where waste is involved (hence "sanitary") that allows one pipe to join in with a main run (a "T" shape). It is different than a "straight tee" in that the way it is shaped, flow down the main branch doesn't have as much of a tendency to flow into the branch.

Hi bus, I have an Epson 4490 that has a button on the front that scans to PDF (Adobe Reader) and an Edit page is there. My old scanner let you scan to MSWord but I never used those options to know what to expect? I just scanned to try the button for PDF and these things popped up. May be of use for you? I will have to learn more on how to use the features my scanner has to offer. Urlee

But is it safe to use pages that you print from your computer??? I am just barely getting started in with scrapbooking (I have some supplies but haven't sat down to actually put a page together) but I thought you had to have acid free and I was told so far there isn't any acid free ink for computers.

It does has a lot to do with the code.
When you make your screen widther or smaller sometimes a bar appears on the bottom. Then you have reached the absolute minimum width.
I think it is about 800 pixels the printer can manage, but if your page is still widther at that settings...

You could try the following:
Add the following META tag to the HEAD section of you WebPage:
<LINK REL=alternate MEDIA=print HREF="printversion.doc">

Now design your WebPage for normal viewing, and forget how it will look when it's printed! Instead create a file "printversion.doc" in Word, and upload it to your server along with the WebPage.

Now when a viewer clicks the "Print" button on their browser when viewing you page, "printversion.doc" will be sent to their printer, instaed of the WebPage itself!!!

Hope this helps!

Ok = I'll show my stupidity - ! Instead create a file "printversion.doc" in Word. What do I create. I can add the META tag - and where do I put the printversion.doc - in the index file. Guess this is over my head. As you can see I'm very green.

Thanks anyway

Print it landscape, providing the page is not too wide. If it is, my advice is useless.

Print it landscape is the only except for a screen capture that I can print. Still trying to figure out "printversion.doc".

I work in a hospital as the Website Coordinator and since 90% of our user's has a resolution of 800x600 or greater, we ran into a printing problem. (i.e. the right side of page getting cut off)

I believe a printer will only print 640 across. It might even be a little less, but I know 800 pixels will get cut off.

Our solution? Have a "printer friendly version" button that removes the template and just diplays the text.

Click here to see Newsletter

Try "File/Print Preview" to see how it gets cut off.

Now press the "Print Friendly button" and do a preview again. The text will automatically justify to the printers margins. (landscape or portrait)

I'd forget about the printversion.doc idea. Since Word docs can have macros embedded with viruses and crap... a lot of people will not open them. You have 2 easy options though.

1. Get Adobe Acrobat. (you'll need more then the free version if you want to create PDF's)

2. Create another HTML document with just the page content and not the template.

Whatever you choose above... link to it like this:

<A HREF="filename.pdf">Click here for printer friendly version</A>

<A HREF="filename.html">Click here for printer friendly version</A>

Good luck! Hope it works for you.
