Why can't I print this article without it coming out looking like crap??

[Kroze]

Here's what I wanted to print....

Here's how it looks when I print or print preview it. I've tried screwing around with the scaling and page orientation but to no avail. What am I doing wrong here?

The page probably has

media="screen"

in the call to the css file

Is there a link on the article for a printer friendly version?

 

[Kroze]

No link printer friendly version. Here's the link to it, perhaps you guys know how to get it to print properly?

I didn't see an obvious way to do it in Internet Explorer, but these are the options I can see:

1. If you don't need the menus and ads, you could always just highlight and paste the article to a Word processor. It looks fine in Word.
2. If you want the printout to look exactly like the page, and have access to a Chrome browser, you can do Ctrl+A, right click > Print. Under options, select "Selection Only" and "Background Colors and Images". The result I see looks exactly like the page.

This worked for me.

Clip full page in Evernote, print that.

Someone probably got lazy and nixed the print stylesheet, so it got half-assed. I made some changes with Stylebot and it looks pretty decent now:

CSS changes are as follows:

#topnav, 
#nav, 
#sidebar, 
#footer, 
.social4i, 
.betterrelated, 
img { 
  display: none; 
}

I usually delete superfluous DOM elements using Chrome's "inspect element" feature before I print anything.

...carefully moving up through hierarchy of container elements to delete entire sections and free-up the space they occupy.
