The printing on the page uses only about 1/6 to 1/8 of the width of the paper and is centered and only prints about 27 characters and in a very small font. Also some web pages won't print out any info at all except for header info at the top.

Check your printer's settings. Also, try File -> Page Setup and uncheck the "Shrink to fit Page Width" option.

OMG, thank you! It worked. Here's what I did (I have a Mac):

File-> Page Setup...->

  1. Settings: <page attributes>
  2. Format for: I made sure my printer was selected.
  3. Paper size: I put <US Letter> or <borderless 8.5" x 11"> both work. This is where the settings had been off!
  4. Scale: I put <100%> - it had been at 500% which didn't help either.
