When on a web page the output to the screen
is larger than than the screen so I have to slide right to see it.
The problem is:
When I try to print it out it only prints out what is on the screen (None of
the output to the right gets printed, just 80 char. not the whole 150 char.).

Can anyone post some code to show me how to be able to print all the print from left to right out... In Excel it will print 1-80 chars on 1 page and the remaing 81-150 on the next ..thats what I am looking for ..thanks ... THomas

If it's you page, I suggest you stop abusing fixed width <table> for layout (I'm making a guess this is what you are doing) and use CSS instead that will adapt to the available space.

If it's not your page, send the same message to the webmaster and/or download a browser that allows you to scale the content for printing.

It's my page ... If I am understanding you correctly if I do what you say I would be squeezing a 200 Chars into something like 80 so I can print it out ... I would have to use some unexceptable font that would be so small that would be un-acceptable to the users .... Is there any other way? ..thanks

Do you have 200 chars as one word (ie with no space in between)?

Then try printing in landscape mode...
