  7. Click OK
    The selected text will print.

  1. From the File menu, select Page Setup...

    The Print dialog box appears.

return to topChanging Page Orientation

Printing in landscape orientation is useful when the website is wider than a sheet of paper, which is typically also the width of a maximized browser window. If there is important information that you need to scroll to the side to see, printing in landscape orientation is recommended. 

  1. Open Netscape to the website that you would like to print

  2. From the File menu, select Page Setup...
    The Page Setup dialog box appears.
