Classic ASP Design Tips
Do Not Print a Portion of the Page

Perhaps make it so that if a user prints a page that some things such as the top title portion, the left menu portion (as this can really expand the width of a printed page), and the bottom footer portion do not print.

Here's a snippet of code that can reside in a .css file:

/* Print. */
@media print {
  /* cssclsNoPrint class. */
  .cssclsNoPrint {display:none}
}

/* Screen. */
@media screen {
  /* cssclsNoScreen class. */
  .cssclsNoScreen {display:none}
}
And one can include the .css file in a Web page's header:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
And for something intended to show up onscreen but not to show up when printing or doing print previews such a large logo or menu links at the left:

<span class="cssclsNoPrint">
  Blah, blah, blah<br>
  <img src="mylargelogo.gif" height="40" width="200"><br clear="all">
</span>
And for something intended to show up when printing or doing print previews but not onscreen such as perhaps printing a smaller logo than the main on screen logo:

<span class="cssclsNoScreen">
  <img src="mysmalllogo.gif" height="10" width="50"><br clear="all">
</span>
