IE7 promises to deliver better printing functionality.  See
this thread for
details:

I second the idea of using CSS to invoke a separate style
sheet.  Eric
Meyer's site has good, basic info:

What would be useful is if IE7 would support generated
content so that one
could choose to have the full path URL display in
parentheses after
the link using the the attr() function.  For more info, see:

Opera handles it well.

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.
