Very easy solution: Have them print in landscape. We train
our users
to do a Print Preview first. From Preview you can go to
Page Setup and
quickly change it to landscape format. Keep in mind the
next person who
sits down may have to change it back...
It's a web design issue, and it drives me crazy that
designers don't
think of how their pages will print.
Someone else mentioned the 'printable view' option--we're
also working
to train our patrons to look for anything like this,
especially with
emails and online articles (NY Times, etc.).

Subject: [Web4lib] Printing Web Pages
We seem to encounter more and more pages that fail to print
as our
customers want. The right side of the web page is not
printed.
Does anyone have a fairly easy solution for this problem?
Thanks for any help you can give.
