Problem printing out a web page.

Factual Questions
1

I tried printing out pages from this web site
http://www.gamedev.net/reference/articles/article872.asp
to study ray casting (yes, I’ve looked at the very popular tutorial by F. Permadi but have a hard time turning that into actual code).

Anyway, in trying to print out the pages, some letters get cropped off. I tried resizing the text and shrinking the left and right margins, I use print preview and still, what I get is something that won’t print out completely. I tired both Avant Browser (which uses the IE engine) and Mozilla Firebird, I can’t fit the whole thing using either browser.

So is there anyone here who knows how to solve this problem? I’m sure that there has to be a solution, but I’m not finding it.

Thanks.

I guess I should have said that if the text is longer than the page, instead of wrapping around, the extra text is just not printed.

Start at the top of the page, click and highlight all of the text you wish to print out. Copy the text (Ctrl V or right click/copy). Open Word Pad or Note Pad and paste the text there and print the Word Pad document as opposed to trying to print directly from the web page.

Also if you are in IE you could try going to File >> Page setup

And then set your magines to 0.25 for left, top, right, bottom and left.

Change the print origination from portrait to landscape.

In IE6, that’s file/print/properties/features/landscape button etc.

If that doesn’t work for you and you know html, then save the page coding as a text file with html extension, place the entire coding within a table less than 100%, resave and view as your own webpage.

First, thank you everybody for your help, I’ll try aahala’s suggestion first, and if that doesn’t work, then I’ll just go with CarlaH1210’s advice.

I tried to avoid landscape because then the page prints out the long way probably making for more pages, but I’ll give it a try anyway.

And also lexi, I did try reducing the left and right margins, but I doubt that the top and bottom would help any, but thanks anyway.

Save the html and:

  1. Delete the

marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0"

bit in the <body> tag

  1. Get rid of the big table the main text is in.

Print-Preview then shows a proper page in Mozilla 1.5
