This is an annoying feature of Internet Explorer. When I'm forced to
use that on a public computer, I have to do Print Preview before
printing _anything_.

Sometimes you can solve the problem by switching to landscape mode.

Ultimately the answer is to switch to a better browser, such as
Mozilla Firefox.

However, it should be said that certain sites are very badly laid out
and no browser can cope with them.
