I suspect my prob is related to the one mentioned at the following link

http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=113600

But as mentioned I can't find the "print.css" file that affects the 
printing on my system

I have however managed a tempory workaround which is a bit of a 
pain, i.e. to manually highlight the entire webpage and then go go into 
print file and choose selection. Haven;t tried with direct print to pdf but 
suspect it works there too. Just a pain to remember to do that when I 
need for now
