I am having trouble printing Greyscale for dummies, I can go to the printable version, but when I hit the printer icon on my browser, printing starts but the text exceeds the width of the A4 paper. any suggestions Confused

Get wider paper. Wink

Aw crap. You're right - it's because of the images. I didn't want to go too small with the images so that people could see what's going on but it seems to have blown out the width if you print it even when it's done in landscape mode. Grrrr. Sorry, no quick solution to this one at the moment, other than doing a "select all" pasting it into Word or something for printing.

I don't want to do a PDF of it any time soon as I'm still updating it daily.

If I do a Print Preview with Windows XP and select .25 instead of .75 as the right margin and Shrink to Fit it all fits in . You can change the right margin elsewhere but this is the easiest place.

You can select 50% as the size and get all the text in. Unfortunately it is very small and the images have been correspondingly reduced, but it does work.

I have just found the way to print this document, because Kal produced it in stages if you select all to copy and autofit to print it will not work, as later additions to the document still do not fit. I found that if you copy each section at a time, each one will fit a A4 page without any further adjustment.

I resized all of the images to no more than 640 wide and Internet Explorer still cuts off the right side. Use Firefox. It works perfectly.

I have a link to download it on our Links page here: http://www.curtpalme.com/Links.shtm

Thanks Kal for a great reference document

If you use a Mozilla browser, the text of the page is likely to be wrapped and the graphics repositioned to accommodate your printer and paper size.If your browser is cutting off the right edge of the lines of text see if you can adjust your page settings.

Have you tried Google Chrome? I find it solves most printing problems.
