Printing from Windows browser doesn't fit paper size

[vylan]

The development site I'm working on will not fit the entire page margin when printing from a Windows system. The page fits when it's printed from a Mac using IE or other Mac based browsers due to the default shrink-to-fit setting.

I've tried .css to alter the parameters of the page with the media setting. My overall table setting is a round 775 pixels and it cannot reduce as graphic elements are controlling the width. The right side gets cut off and the client wants the entire page to print. Even though the right side is a margin block of copy.

I need a method in which to make the print preview and the printing reduce the overall page size without having to make an alternative print-friendly pages.

PLEASE HELP.

The who purpose of @media CSS declarations is to allow you to style one page in two ways: once for screen, and once for print.

The Print Preview pane of the Firefox browser shows you what the results of print styles will be for your page. Test with that.

Wrap your content in a DIV and style the DIV for print only. If that doesn't work, you need to change your table layout to relative sizes and use JPG images instead of GIFs/PNGs.
