Hi, this is using Firefox on your Mac?

When you call up print in Firefox, on the right side, there is a "More settings" section which lets you choose between "Shrink to fit" and a specific enlargement/reduction (such as 110 for 110%). Some websites can be scaled however you like, while others will cut off on the right side if you don't use Shrink to fit or a significant reduction. You also can try switching from Portrait to Landscape and see whether that helps.

Some sites have a structure Firefox can simplify. In that case, further down in the settings panel, you will find a Format section with the choices of Original and Simplified. Try Simplified to see whether that view works for you.

Finally, if the site remains a problem, there might be some add-ons that can help.

Note: Firefox has less flexibility in printing PDFs. You might need to bring those into Preview or Acrobat for more options.
