It depends how expert the web designer was.

You can create web pages that have a very fixed format, the secret of spotting these is when you have a horizontal scrollbar along the bottom edge of the browser window. With these they will require to be printed in landscape mode.

However, if you don't have the horizontal scrollbar then the web page has been designed in flexi-mode, meaning that the browser has permission to reposition whatever it wants to in order to show the page. Printing is usually more successful with such pages.

Unfortunately, if the web site is using frames then the term "you are stuffed" applies. Frames really mess up printing big time.

Yeah, but you wouldn't be too pleased with the result.....

I understand that search engines don't like framed web sites, reason being that the search engine robots can't render the frames - they are just smart enough to read the content of a single page, so stuffing a page full of frames means they get awfully confuddled.

I've done framed web sites before, but I always prefer non-framed.
