This is entirely dependent on the webpage you want to print, and whether or not they've designed it to be printable. Some websites haven't (especially highly interactive ones) in which case if you print it there's no way to avoid it being ugly. I don't know what you mean about "the rods". If the problem is that it's printing too small in portrait layout, you could try printing in landscape layout instead. A3 would only work if you have A3-sized paper in your printer (this is double the size of A4 paper, which is approximately but not quite letter-sized). I'm not sure what opening Developer Tools would achieve unless you wanted to change the stylesheet itself, but that's highly technical: it'd be much easier to copy-paste the content into Word and make it look pretty in there. Again it really depends on the web page and what you're trying to achieve by printing it. Eg are you just sharing information and the layout doesn't matter, or are you wanting to show people what the webpage looks like on the screen, or something else?

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. My esteemed listmates, Printing a Web site WYSIWYG is problematic. I'm trying this at work where we have The Edge and Chrome. I read in Chrome you access the Developer Tools which opens a company type window. It then says tio select Customize but there is no Customize in the tabs. Elements - Console - Sources. How have you been able to print WYSIWYG on a web site from your printer? I've toed setting the petition to A3 which sends the pritner into a conniption and won't print. Tried A4 - not working. I reduce the margins, the scalking to 80% but that makes the rods tiny. We've got a Savin laser printer. I've tried in MS Paint, Photo but even though I capture the whole page as a PNG or jpg it will not import into Word. Thank for your real experience fixes and not just Googled results. Charles.
