There are some excellent articles on the website, which I would love to print, and commit to my paper archives. However, I can't get them to print well. For example, if I print Martin's excellent thread at:

  http://forum.beoworld.org/forums/thread/78511.aspx

then the photographs do not print completely. You can see this in Internet Explorer, using Print Preview, where only the left-side is shown. How do other Members of the Board (I like the sound of that) print these threads?

I think it's because the images are quite wide. Browsers are generally rather bad at printing.

Try printing in landscape mode, in the preview in my Firefox that seems to help.

Have you tried (in Print Preview) using 70% - 80% instead of auto-resize ?

Normally i prefer Firefox, but for printing i use Internet Explorer.

 

 

When I want to store a website for reference I use Adobe PDF for storage.

You should be able to print to PDF. 

Thank you guys - problem solved. The results: 1. Landscape - worked well in IE6, and didn't chop any images in half (as FireFox seems to do). 2. Portrait 60% - just covered less of the paper. Didn't include the missing bits of the images. 3. PDF - sadly, I don't have the facility to print to PDF. Anyway, thank you all once again. Mark

If you need to create PDFs and use Windows, there's a free (shows an ad, though) solution at www.pdf995.com. It's pretty good, I've actually used it to prepare ads for printed magazines!

I don't think it will help this particular problem as the browser will still "see" the same paper is if you printed directly. Acrobat Reader might have better options than the browser for saving paper, though (like printing of several pages on a single sheet).

Look for CutePDF. Its free, there's no adverts and it appears as a printer so is easy to convert any open document to a pdf. I've used it for ages and it works fine
