Printing text that is too wide --

Post by Bill Myrick »

for example--on the Texas Steel Guitar web site --- texassteelguitar.org/ and select the jamboree page-- how do I print the page off so all the text will fit on the page ? Thanks, Bill.

You could use "Landscape" mode on the printer (that will print wider text).

However, some web sites are wider than the 80 character (usual page width limit) and it will print off the page or you will only get the first 80 (maybe 78) characters.

If you only want part of the page, not the entire page, highlight the part you want then select "Print Selected" in the print window.

I used to have a Canon printer and it came with a program that would reformat web pages so they would fit the printer. Unfortunately it only worked with the Canon printer. There may be other print untilites around that will do the same thing.
