Print set up problem.

For some reason, when I print off a page from a site, I lose the info on the right hand side of the page. The page on the screen prints out minus about 10% of the right hand side. This has only happened since I bought a new laser printer.
Any advice welcomed.

    Many thanks for the prompt reply! When I go to File, click Page setup, I can't see the box you mention there (check to fit page width)

    Page is as follows,

    Size A4
    Source Auto select
    Portrait ticket
    Left Top Right Bottom, all at 19.05

    try File, Print Preview. Then you can shrink or scale to fit.

    I think this is only available on Firefox and Opera (and maybe other browsers) and IE7.

    Click "file" and "print"

    Then click Preferences and at the bottom right above "factory settings" it should say "scale to fit". Just put a tick in this box and click OK.

    Or Print, Properties. There should be an option to scale to fit the size of paper selected.

    Many thanks for all the help. Problem unsolved, I'm afraid.

    This problem is driving me nuts! If I print from My Documents, all is OK. If I print a page off the web, I loose the print on the right hand side . Any ideas, please.
