Print

I've inherited a site and it is now required that you can print one of the pages. Unfortunately the page is 730 pixels wide due to the menu bar at the top and is therefore to wide to fit on paper. Is there anyway to scale the page down so you don't loose any data or to possibly remove the menus at the top and resize the table that the data is in?

I'm currently using [img]SolarFS.co.uk/images/print.png[/img] to print but would change it to anything that works.

I don't think 730px should be too wide, but if the site was done in CSS you can create a separate stylesheet just for printing:

Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="print.css" media="print" />

Like Ellio says you'd want to create a CSS file for the print media type. With that you can change widths around, font sizes, colors, and even remove images that don't need printed.
