Printing Web page problems

Do you get frustrated when printing a web page and the right‐hand side all the way down the page is missing ?

Well it is another case of forced American Standards

What am I referring to you may ask?

Well in America unlike the rest of the world the standard page is called “ Lettersized paper “, and would you believe Web pages are based upon it.

Whereas in the rest of the world we use A4 size, and this is slightly narrower than Lettersized.

It annoys me just as much as US English and no option to select UK English.

Sadly there is only one wasteful way round it:‐

When you go to Print Go to Page Setup and change the layout from Portrait to Landscape.

I can not offer any other alternative.

Fortunately some Web pages offer “ Print friendly format “ which takes into consideration A4 size, and allows the Portrait option and saves wastage.

Someday the Americas will realise there are other places in the world apart from America.
