    When i go to print any screen off the net it cuts off part of what was to be printed. Tried control panel and setting but can not manage to correct this problem. Tried print preview and set it to what it should be but did not work. Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

    Have you tried, Page setup, and ticked the box shrink to fit,

    I assume you have tried "Landscape" instead of "Portrait" ?
    Landscape usually works better in a lot of instances. Bazza

    Yes,bibazz, Landscape will give you the full page, but I find you usually get half pages long, that way.
    In page set up , there is a box to tick to shrink to fit, which always works for me in Portrait mode.
    Otherwise it can be set by reducing margins, but that is tedious.

    Thanks chaps for the shrink to fit tip.
    I always thought landscape was the only direct way.
    I often find that copying and pasting into Word first allows some reformatting to strip out stuff I don't really need/want to print.
    open Word
    In theIE page Ctrl+A>Ctrl+C
    click on the Word page
    Ctrl+v
