[not related to content] I usually print interesting articles to XPS because the XPS reader on my tablet is so much faster than web browsers. As I've been doing this I've noticed that lots of sites out there just cannot be printed. For example, this article's content is put into some sort of a container, I presume, that has a fixed width or something that cuts off a part of the text. Even the "printer-friendly" version exhibits this problem. Sadly, but for me this means I'm not reading the article.

You have solved your problem here, but also take a look at:

This is exactly what I needed; thank you very much!
As I coincidentally just mentioned minutes ago in a different article's thread:

Firefox Alt-V Y N for no styles, renders in black and white, text flows within the browser's border.

Thank you for the hint; somehow the change doesn't apply to printing though.
I'm not sure if I understand your workflow - but the page also has a link to PDF, may be that works for you.
Thank you very much, this is so much better.
