Thanks to Beth and also David Hucklesby for their helpful responses about this problem. I'm working on improveing the print layout with your good suggestions.

Beth A lot depends on the particular browser settings, and which country you are in-- paper sizes vary, along with margin settings that various printers need or that owners prefer. In your design, the image sizes are very tight for U.S. 8½ × 11 inch paper. Perhaps for A4 size, too? I needed to delete the preamble, The printable catalog will have... to make room for more than two images on the first page, for those browsers that showed any. All my Mac browsers gave less than perfect results, one way or another. You may like to try using inline-block instead of floats for your gallery. Browsers seem to have problems printing floats. Besides, I find inline-block has advantages over floats-- you can center them, for example. You might also try sizing elements in something other than pixels, which have no meaning on a piece of paper. FWIW I tried simply changing your floats to inline-block here: http://webwiz.robinshosting.com/temp/catalog/ The results are better, but still not perfect... Cordially, David -- P.S. I deleted all the scripting for this test. __ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
