IE 6 & 7 Web Page Printing
Posted by

If you are designing/building a page whose intended purpose is for the user to print, you need to be careful of the content width. Unlike all the other browsers, IE 6 does not support wide page shrinking when printing.
To overcome this limitation, set the width for the content container to ~650px (IE 7) or ~600px (IE 6) and when using DIVs, be sure to clear (style="clear:both") when moving content down. As relying on the browser to move the content down, can have undesired, unpredicatable effects on length of the page in IE6.
