I think one of the hidden gems of web applications is that you can mold your page for printing using a specific CSS file or printing. I wrote post a while back Printable Web Page which covered using the CSS media attribute for your <link> reference. The other day I was working on some reports that had some table cut off issues. I discovered there are a couple approaches that you can take, including using fixed width (though you’d need to know your printer widths) or using landscape and percents for tables. I chose to do the later.
If you add the following to your CSS file used from printing, it will default the users printing to Landscape and remove the margins. I set by tables to use a width of 100% or less to fit on the screen.
@page {
size:landscape;
margin:0;
}
