printer-friendly web page

[marisol]

Where would I post a question about printing? Specifically, how do I design my site so the printer won't cut off half the page?

I think you need to be a bit more specific.

Are we talking about cutting off half of one side, the bottom half, what?

CSS can be used to control the look of yoour page when it's presented to a printer. This can be, and often is, totally different, other than for main content, to the gui version.

Okay, I'm talking about the printer cutting off the right side of the page. I've looked at sites - some print fine, others are cut off on the right. I can't see what the difference is in the code. (But then, I am only looking at the source code of the main page. I can't see the style sheet,)

I had this tutorial bookmarked from when I had to make a printer freindly website

The main point is to deliver two style sheets one for print and one for the browser

<link rel="stylesheet" media="print" href="print.css" type="text/css" />

Thank you. I think that'll be a big help.
