Printing a web page

I'm looking for software that will allow me to scale a web page to the screen for printing. Everytime I print something from the web I get the ads bar and about half of the article I'm trying to print. Would anybody know of any software that you can adjust the area you want to print?

Just copy and paste it to a word document?

Try taking a screen shot of it, crop the page, save it as an image, and print it.

I don't know of any special software. In Firefox file/page setup I have an option to "shrink to fit page width". IE doesn't seem to have that option. That should print the whole width.

If you must use IE you could change to print in landscape orientation instead of portrait. Funnylooking but works.

That's a good suggestion rockboy, never thought of that.
Bigfatguy, some pages you cannot copy and paste for some reason? But can print screen and copy to MSPaint or Photoshop. Thanks for the suggestions fellas.

just select what you want to print, click on print, then click on print selection.
