You have to make your DIV the correct page width size for it to print. This
is a good tutorial

Re: the scroll bars, it's hard to tell with out looking at the page but it
sounds like you have to give your main outer container DIV a greater width
than your floated wide DIV.
#outercontainer {width: 980px;} <!--or whatever page size you are using-->
#wideDIV {width: 960px;} <!--just less than above-->
<div id="outercontainer">
<div id="wideDIV">
</div>
</div>
OR you may also position the wide DIV relatively to the parent element. The
browser should then show scroll bars as needed.
