Does anyone else have this problem - when printing from Internet Explorer, your printouts often scroll text off the right side of the page. This occurs particularly when printing frames. On the same page, Netscape doesn't show this problem for me (it rescales the printout to fit the page). I know in some print drivers you can change a setting that makes it rescale the page to fit, but my printer driver doesn't have that setting. So I'm stuck with text scrolling off the page quite frequently, unless I use Netscape.

Anyone?

Not really a fix but you could print it in landscape mode. Will see if I can find any other info.


Edit: Seems like this would be your only option. MS Knowledge Base

Thanks for the info, I looked at the link. Landscape mode is OK, that's not the worst solution. But the things I'm talking about are more often just plain receipts from internet purchases & stuff like that. I wonder that more people don't have this problem. It's obviously an IE-related issue, too, because Netscape/Mozilla can print the same pages just fine (and have a "fit-to-page" option in their print menus). Reducing the print margins is such a weenie excuse for an answer from Microsoft.

It's been a problem with IE for a long time. You would think it might be fixed by now, but it isn't, obviously.

I have the same problem at work but it's with tables (not frames- I think this is what you mean).

As a "fix", I just adjust my text size to smallest. Usually I won't have the information in the tables clipped. Image clipping is different. I can't seem to stop this from happening.

You are not alone. I use the Landscape when I need to but most times what is cut off doesn't matter to me.Miye just consider using other browsers again. M$ needs me more than I need them. -harhar-

Would be nice if M$ just fixed it.

It's hard to imagine they don't fix it. It's got to be relatively easy, given their resources. I guess that's what a large majority of the browser market share will do for your desire to improve your product.

I've tried the text size thing and the landscape thing, which work in some cases. It's really just such a bad flaw I can't see how they haven't done something about it.

I agree it would be nice to get it fixed...it has bothered me (and others) for years....but, even given what a lot of people see as a lot of resources, I don't think it is an easy fix.


Has anyone tried to get their thoughts heard on this?
To do it, try the below (works for me on my browser, but I am not sure if it is a certain version needed or what version of IE it works on):

Wow, that was really helpful... Not... Thanks for nothing, Microsoft!

Some work arounds:
1) Try decreasing the IE text size: Click View > Text Size.
2)Copy and paste the webpage into MS Word and print from there.
3) Save the webpage to your hard drive and open in an HTML authoring program or word processor and print from there.
4) Use a different browser.

Yeah I know, a PITA, but it may work.
