---- Do you design your sites for 600x800 screen resolution?

How do screen resolutions effect printing? Some sites I can't print the right side of the page, but can view it without scrolling?

Put Simply - they don't.

Your printer will capture the page at any resolution and produce the same results. Try viewing a page at 640X480 and at 1024X768 - the difference is huge, but a print of each will produce the same document. Printer friendly pages need to be low on graphics and fall within the standard print margins of an A4 Page. Alternativley you could ask people viewing the site to print landscape - this will usually capture a page designed for the 800X600 - 1024X768 range. Pages that stretch far off to the right might be halved by the printer - but then they deserve it ;)
