Printing on one page - arrgh!

ASP, 800 pixels, can't print on one portrait page

[webchick]

OK - I'm having a problem that is driving me crazy. I have coded a form on an ASP page, set it at 800 pixels and cannot seem to get the page to print on a single portrait page! (Using IE 5.0)

I have taken the font so small that it is barely legible - works but not a proper solution since you can't see what the heck you are reading by looking at the screen. Next idea was to reduce % of size in print setups. No matter how small I reduce the %, there is a page break in the same location each time(even though there is plenty of white space. Can anyone provide some insight? This is driving me crazy!

webchick,

I have a page with a 960 pixel high image on it that prints to one page. I have the top and bottom margins set at 0px. Are you sure about the 800 px dimension?

It is 800px across. Printing across isn't my problem. The problem is the height - the asp page is running to a second page.

Do you know how I would fix this?

StickyMail (see the top of the screen) me a URL so I can have a look. Note though - that even if you get it to print out on your printer in your bedroom/office/bathroom etc it's absolutely no guarantee that it will work on anybody elses printer/browser combination.

Oops forgot.. welcome to the forums webchick.

webchick,

If it's 800 pixels across, I doubt it will make one page. Generally, about and area 650-700 wide by 950 or so high is the maximum area for printing a page. But as joshie pointed out, you're going to have that unknown: the user's printer.

Unfortunately, the site is internal to a company which is not accessible outside the intranet.

I appreciate your comments! I play around with the px size and see if that works. Thanks for the help, guys.
