If you've ever tried to print a Web page you were viewing in Internet Explorer 6, you know what a headache it can be. The Web page might not fit onto the printed page, and you couldn't print the page in any useful form.

That's changed in IE7. One of the best features is the improvements to printing, as you can shrink the Web page to fit on the printed page. You can change the orientation of the paper from portrait to landscape easily, making it easier to print Web pages that have a horizontal orientation to match the screen.

It's also easy to do other minor changes to the printed page. You can decide whether the printed page should include the Web page's title and address as a header and footer, and you can adjust the margins of the printed page to match your preferences. All together, it adds up to a much better experience when you need to print a Web page.
