Printing Margin confusion
Hi all,
I'll try and explain this the best I can, which is hard when I'm not sure where the problem is originating from. Basically I have a site I'm working on which I didn't create myself. It uses PHP for layout and CSS for the look (I'm pretty sure anyway). The problem is when some people go to print a page on the site, it chops off about 3 cm of the right hand side of the page. On some printers it prints out fine, but on others it doesn't. Now I think if everyone wanted to go into their browser settings and manually fix the margins they would be fine. But the reality is, the majority of people wouldn't do that and they would end up with the right side of the page missing. Without creating a seperate document for them to click on and print (say a pdf), is there a way that you think I could get this to work. The site is formed on PHP templates, but if CSS could manipulate each users browser settings, would it be possible to fix this? Any help/experience/insight would be fantastic! Am I allowed to post a link of the website in here so you can view the site and look at the source code? Thanks Kouche |

you can use css to specifically declare different widths for tags when they go to print.
by all means post a link, it will help us to solve your problem quicker |

Hi,
Yes I recall reading in O'reilly that could be an option. I could give that a go. Do you know of any other resources which could give me more info on how to go about that? The site is: www.sqw.co.uk Thanks! |
