Open Print
Press Ctrl + P or Command + P, or select Print from the browser menu.

Check layout
Review paper size, portrait or landscape orientation, margins and scaling.

Troubleshooting
Fix common print problems
If a preview does not look right, adjust one setting at a time and check the result before printing.
Text is cut off
Reduce the scale to about 90%, select “fit to page,” or switch from portrait to landscape. Setting margins to the browser's minimum can also help.
Too many blank areas
Turn off background graphics if they are unnecessary and confirm that the selected page range does not include blank pages.
Navigation appears
This page includes print-specific styling that removes the header and footer. If another page includes extra controls, try the browser's simplified or reader view before printing.
Print is too small
Increase scale gradually while watching the preview. Landscape orientation can provide more width without reducing the text as much.
Printing questions
Frequently asked questions
How do I save an article as a PDF?
Open the print dialog and choose “Save as PDF,” “Microsoft Print to PDF,” or the equivalent PDF destination. Choose a filename and storage location when prompted.
How can I print only part of an article?
Use the page-range control in the print dialog. Check the preview page numbers first, then enter only the pages you need.
Should I use portrait or landscape?
Portrait is usually best for articles. Try landscape when wide material is clipped or when a page contains a broad table.
Why does the printed page differ from the screen?
Web pages adapt to screen sizes, while printers use fixed paper dimensions. Browsers therefore reformat some elements for print.
Can I remove headers, footers or the web address?
Look under “More settings” or a similarly named section and turn off the browser's headers and footers option.
What if the preview remains incorrect?
Try saving to PDF first and inspect the file. You can also use another current browser or consult the printer manufacturer's support information.
Where can I report a page-specific problem?
Use the contact page or email info@religioustolerance.en-html.org with the article title, browser and a short description of the issue.
