When attempting to print a web page from my web browser, text on the right hand side of the page is missing. How can I print the whole web page?

There are three ways you can work around this behaviour.  You can either reduce the page margins, or reduce the scale, or print the page in landscape mode to increase the printable area.  The following suggestions are based on Internet Explorer or Firefox.

3. Click OK
4. Print the page again

Reducing the scale
