I have taken notice that websites are not considering the printing of their contents anymore. Many sites will offer a print option, but they will still use CSS to layout the page.

Many web browsers print processors do not follow the same rules as the on-screen display, they have to work with trying to get all of the text onto a narrow page and then deal with margins and PCL6 on top of it.

Website developers, if they are going to offer a printer friendly version of their site, they need to take into account that CSS should not be used to control widths of elements.

I personally consider printing a posibility of all pages that I design, and many I do print just to make sure that words, grapics and other page elements do not disappear in the margins.

If a developer feels compelled to design a print page design, they need to lay it out with <table>’s and HTML 4.0 only specifications.

Also, if advertisements are to be included in the print form (I personal annoyance of mine) then they should be of the static type. Flash videos and flash advertisements do not print well unless they are scripted in a manner that has a good single frame with the entirety of the advertising message.
