When I print Internet Explorer 7 web pages on my HP Deskjet 5150 printer, the pages print with a very narrow left-hand margin and extra wide margin on the right. The type and pictures appear about 50% (estimated) smaller than they should.
I tried printing a Word 2000 document and it printed perfectly, so my problem seems to relate only to web pages.
Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong?
Printers try to fit web pages on a single sheet of paper. If you configure the printer, in the print dialog, not to shrink images and text to fit the paper, it will print on multiple sheets of paper, but the correct size for the images and text.
In a Word document, it depends on what font size you have selected. Most people would rather have the web page print on a single sheet, with smaller images and text than were on the monitor; than tape together multiple sheets for 100% size printout.
