Whenever I print from web, it does not print the whole page. The right side always gets truncated about 17 characters.

OS: Windows XP Pro
Printer: Samsung ML-1651N

Any ideas how to resolve this problem?

It is cutting the edge because of the fact that it was written longer than the paper size or have a larger resolution, try to print the page sideways that way you will have an additional 2.5" to the side.

To print sideways as Parvus suggests, you select 'Landscape' mode when you print from printer settings.

Some pages will width adjust if you narrow your browser window.
With a 17" monitor, you need to narrow the Window about 3".
If the page shows a horizontal scroll bar when you narrow the window, it will still print at full width.
If the page simply re-adjusts to the new width without a bottom scroll bar, then it should print fine.

Another option, is to save the page, and import it into your word processor program.
Then you can move the text and images around as needed to print.

I have found that most will print OK if you simply set page properties, and adjust the default margins to .25" or so.

Question to TheChas;

I could not save the webpage. I got "Error Saving Web Page" and it said "The Webpage could not be saved to the selected location."
I tried a differnt folder and partition without success.

I copied the webpage and pasted in Word and this did not resolve the truncation problem.
