These ideas may already have been considered but here they are anyway...
1. set unneeded items on the page to display:none eg: menus taking up horizontal space
2. give the table an "id" and in the print css set that "id" as width: 100%

Hi All
I've got an odd case of an intranet page that generates a very wide report (<table>). This page is generally printed rather than being viewed on screen. The table is slowly growing width wise as more data is added - it is now so wide that even when printed in landscape the table gets cut off at 3/4 of the width.
What I am hoping for is some way to get the printer to break the page up both vertically and horizontally - in the way the excel does, but for some reason this doesn't happen, it just prints pages 1->5 vertically and whatever runs horizontally off the page just gets lost.
Does anyone have any ideas no how to fix this issue?
