After emailing
my
suggestion on how to use Landscape / Portrait modes to get a large web page
to fit properly using a printer, a few users emailed me with thoughts of
their own.

You could also suggest a program such as
Gadwin Printscreen, which
will print exactly what is on the screen and fit it properly.
My Response:
I had a chance to browse over the software at the Gadwin web site, and
the software is listed as Freeware -- totally free -- if you're just an end
user (not a business).

Another approach to this is to copy what you want to print by pasting in
to either a text editor, or WordPad. The downside to using either
method is that you will lose pictures and graphics which are present on the
web site, but the bonus is that you will also lose any ads.
Text Editor: Most text editor do not pick up the URLs behind the
links. If you need an URL, just right-click over top it, choose "copy link",
and then go back to the editor and paste it.
WordPad: will show the URLs where the text editor most likely will
not. After pasting the copied information from the web site, initially
the there will be a bunch of "boxes" on the WordPad screen. After the
file has been saved, they the boxes go away. On other tip is that you
can copy from WordPad and paste into the text editor to get a smaller file,
but you will lose some more of the formatting, including space between the
paragraphs.
