Solution to Print Wide HTML pages

Overview

Your employees and customers require access to the information they need. When they need it on the web, it is no longer acceptable to change data layout just because you can't print it from your browser.

We reengineer browser print streams so you don't need to worry about the data layout any more.

Background

Problem 1: "I need to print html pages that contain tabular data. The data is organized in a specific number of columns (25), so when I get to preview the printing area, only the portion visible on the screen is displayed and printed. So the table gets cut in the middle or something and a large number of columns is not displayed. Is there anyway to fix this? I tried reducing the text size to smallest but some columns still doesn't get displayed. I also tried reducing margins from page set up and changing the orientation to landscape and can't get the whole table printed on A4 paper size. Any ideas?" (user note in the message board.)

Problem 2: "Wide html report will not print completely"
"I have a web-based report that is very wide and views in the browser via the horizontal scroll bar. If I print the page using window.print() only about 2/3 of the report's width prints even though I have the opportunity to tell my printer to scale the page down.
I'm having to resort to taking screenshots of the thing and paste the images together in Word.
Is there any way to get the whole thing?"
(user note in the message board.)

There are a lot of cases in the HTML report in which you need to display many data fields, just like in excel. IE browser doesn't have the capability to print wide pages. To turn around the problem, a lot of reporting utilities attempt to export data to Excel and print the data in Excel. Although this is a turn-around solution, it does allow the user to change data before printing. Data security is nonexistent when the user gets data in excel format.
