Problem

Ever tried to print off a web page in Internet Explorer (IE) v6 and found that text on the right hand side of the web page is truncated on the printed version and makes the printout unreadable? Well I have and this has been an issue that has been annoying me for far too long.

Investigation

What appears to be happening is that any text that would be printed in the margin is not getting wrapped the next line but simply not getting printed.

Solution

This may differ for different printer drivers but from Internet Explorer I selected File, Print Preview, Page Setup (Ult+U), Margins (millimetres), Right: and reduced it to 0. When you click on the OK button the right margin will actually be increased to the minimum acceptable value (in my case 1.33). Anyway, suffice to say it at least allows me to print off information from web pages like Technet and read the printed articles without having to guess the missing words!
