I can not figure out how to print a page without cutting off the whole right side due to having the menu list (?) on the left side.
Help...

Is the right side printing on a second page? Have you tried to print at less than 100% of full size?

What program or browser are you using?

In Firefox 2.0 there is a setting under Page Setup to Shrink to Fit Page Width. Internet Explorer 7 is useless for this.

You can get it done in IE also. It just takes a couple of extra steps. Go into Page Setup, click on Printer, then Properties. There's a drop down menu to "fit to page".

If you don't mind going widescreen on paper, printing in landscape is usually the quickest solution to this problem.
IMHO, it shouldn't really work, as the formatting routine ought to utilise the wider page and cut the content off again, but it's always worked when I've had to do it on Windows at work.

IE sucks for this.

This is why Windows has a print preview option. Click file up there at the top left and the dropdown list appears and there's print preview. It's also on some toolbars next to the printer icon.
Most printers have option settings. If you're trying to print a webpage, the better printers will have sections of the webpage in boxes. The menu list on the left will be in a rectangular box so click on the main part of the webpage and it won't print the menu. Page setup, another option in the file dropdown menu, will allow you to change the way the page will be printed. Toy around with that and you'll figure it out.
