VERY basic computer question
I want to print a website for a friend of mine. When I try to print I get most of it but the 15% or so on the right does not print. The majority on the left prints fine. CAn I do this or do I have to copy and paste this to a notepad file or something like that? If you flame me for that one I probably deserve it.
Thanks
Thanks

Also some websites have a button for a printer friendly version. Check for that.

Take 1-
Printer pulled in about 20 sheets of paper....
Take 2-
Highlighted a paragraph of the text, went to file, then print, printer status box indicated it was putting 59 pages in que. Right clicked on printer and selected cancel.
Printer seems to still be deleting this document- I find this happens often with HP printers. It did start to print page 59 but I removed the paper because "cancel document" takes longer than printing the document.
Stand by, I'm working on it, may need to reboot.

Do you mean print a web site page ? ( a page from a website ?)

Or, when you print the page...when the printer properties box comes up, select the tab that says "Print highlighted selections only" (or something like that)

It might be a framed webpage as well. You should see options like print as seen on screen, print frames individually, etc. Also, I don't know what browser you are using, but if you do print preview, some will allow you to shrink stuff down before you print it.

The site in question is Steve Baz' site. Even in print preview the far right text is missing. Man if I could just find an 8 year old right now i could do this.
I have tried the select text on the first paragraph or so but it starts at page 59 instead of page 1. I have selected the option to print selected area with the same results.
I have a good friend of mine who bought a 99 with a lot of good custom work, but he has no computer literacy. He would get a ton of info from a printed copy though, that's the main objective.
Thanks guys, I'll keep trying.

Another thing you can try is print in Landscape format. It should give you the full width text, but will use more paper.

Do you didn't answer my question in post #7 
What part do you need ......which page ?
ALL of them ?
If so,
what resolution is your monitor set at ?
Did you know you can make the content fit by changing the screen by clicking "View" in the tool bar then click text size to smallest ?
This allows the whole page to be seen.
Click Print preview to verify.
Have you tried sending the page to yourself via e-mail then try and print ?
