When I print from the screen TechRepublic reports
for future reading,the right side of printed paper
has letters missing,resulting in me writting the
missing letters or words!. I have the lastest dr.
for this printer and have mentioned this problem
to HP/Okidata people who gave a suggestion of
adding to the driver file,which I followed and well it has helped when I am printing out email.
There is still the problem when I print out from
various web sites..Any thoughts/solutions on this
matter??..The computer is using w98se..

Your IE window is wider than what your printer supports.

You need to either print in landscape mode, or narrow the Window by 2"to 3" to get the text (in the printer friendly view) to wrap as needed.

Sometimes, you can also choose a "print to fit" option with some printer drivers.

Couple more things you could try:

1/ Try changing the TEXT SIZE in internet Explorer (assuming you use IE?)- go to the VIEW menu, selecte TEXT SIZE and select a smaller text size.

2/ Try using PostScript drivers if they are available, some of the older PCL drivers are not good at printing combined text/graphics like the internet

You can also open the File menu and select Page Setup, then change the margins to a smaller size. By default I.E. has them set to 3/4(0.75). Try changing to 1/2(0.50) or 1/4(0.25)........

solutions given the above 2 work..
