Opera 11 seems to stuff up badly and from trying to print with it it
would be the worse Brorser for pinting.

IE8 seems to be OK.

Firefox 4 drops a few pages.

Web designers makeing it for screen and not providing an alternate
printing stylesheet.

Cant blame the browsers for doing a **** job when most web design is
fixed width **** because designers are lazy.

Because "browsers" are designed to render web pages designed for display
on a monitor, and not on a printer.

IF your browser can handle CSS, and IF your browser can print, and IF the
web page in question has been designed with a different CSS for printing
instead of the one designed for display on a monitor, then PERHAPS your
browser might be able to print a web page in a way that fits on the width
of a single page.

My solution to this problem is to capture the item as a .pdf.

If I want to print the item, printing from any .pdf program is usually
quite straight forward and preserves the spatial relationships of the
original display.

In Firefox 4 the menu bar add-on 'Save as PDF' by pdfcrowd.com does a
good job; before this add-on came along, I used PDF995 for years,
usually set as my default printer.
