IE7 gives you Shrink To Fit by default.

Walter, there are two potential fixes to your problem.

1. Start Internet Explorer and click on File, Page Setup. Change the
margins to the minimum that your printer will print for all 4. My HP
LaserJet and my Oki Color Laser printers both will print to within .3 inch
of the edge so I set all 4 margins to 0.3 inches. This fixes most
problems.

2. Many printer drivers have the ability to shrink to fit anything sent
to it. Check the printer before printing by clicking File, Print. On the
printer menu that opens after making sure your desired printer is chosen
click Preferences button. There you may have something like my HP has
which is called ZoomSmart. Hopefully there is a similar option for your
printer. Check under each of the four tabs that open under Printing
Preferences. My HP's fit to page is located under Effects.

There is another option but I don't like it. This is a patch that will
shrink pages to fit but unfortunately it overshrinks the pages and makes
them too small to read. I can't seem to find the web site for the patch
right now

The recent Epson Photo printers came with a IE add-on program the does a
great job of compressing the web page to a printer. I have successfully
used it with the OKI Laser and HP Laser as well as the two Epson inkjet
printers I have. It complains when I print with the HP or Oki that it may
not print correctly but I haven't had any problem yet.
If you go to this website

(it is a long URL so watch wrap, and download the Web to page utility, it
may work well for you.

Running Win XP Sp2

When I print a website that has text close to the right margin, my
printer cuts off the right margin and
I get a print-out of the web page with the right 2 inches missing. The
website
looks fine on the screen, but the printed page cuts off the right two
inches.

This does not happen in Word or anywhere else, only on websites.

Is there a way around this, short of printing in landscape mode?

I believe, Vista solved this problem. But, for me, that is not sufficient
reason to invest in Vista.

Thanks for any help
