[Waverley ARS] Printing problem

Hi Colin

I suspect the problem occurs with web pages that are formatted to a 
fixed width or have large graphics and so cannot be re-adjusted to fit a 
page. Many web pages do automatically adjust to fit the browser window 
or paper page, whilst others will have a scroll bar underneath because 
you need to scroll across to see the whole page. Some of these pages 
have a "printer friendly" option but for those that don't I am afraid 
there is little you can do, apart from setting the printer to landscape, 
which may work.

Your browser should have a "print preview" option under the "file" tab 
so that at least you can check the page layout first. Play with this and 
with reducing the browser window width and see what happens.
