Printing Wide Web Pages?

Posted by Cliff on from the they-don't-make-printers-this-size dept.

dmayle asks: "I'm an origami folder, and I have some diagrams stored as web pages on a cd. I'd like to print them out (since folding in front of a computer monitor is not the easiest of tasks), but the web pages have all of the steps laid out horizontally. I've tried using Mozilla, Opera, Netscape, and even IE (on a windows platform), but I can't seem to find a printing engine that can handle wide web pages. Am I missing something? Hasn't anyone ever tried to print wide web pages before? What I'm asking is: Do you folks know of any utilities (or browsers) that I've missed that can handle printing wide web pages?"

  1. Uh, have you checked the "File" menu? by Anomolous+Cow+Herd · · Score: 0, Troll
    It's real easy. See, there's this thing in Mozilla that you can do to print this. Go to the "File" menu (that's the button on the bar that goes across the top of the window). Press your mouse button to open the file menu. Next, click on the "Page Setup..." option (you'll have to move your cursor down the menu to do this). Then, all you have to do is select the "Format & Options" tab (the little file folder tab looking thing at the top of the window that "Page Setup..." pops up). Click on the white circle next to "Landscape" until a little black dot appears in it, and then hit the "OK" button. Now, just print your page by pressing "Ctrl - P" and you'll be set!

    Hope that helps.

    I believe this is the first ON-TOPIC Page Widening Post, and should be moderated up accordingly.

    This is the most retarded question ever. It has nothing to do with the browser, it has to do with the printer driver. You can easily make a 50" wide page in Word too. Are you then going to Ask Slashdot how to print that?! Get a wider printer, moron.
