I am not sure what is the standard way of printing settings like paper size, resolution, ... Lauris?
So could you please check, that wide tables aren't some other issue? GtkHTML printing code is in htmlengine-print.c, where we use GnomePaper object.

On the other hand, I am thinking about some more general interface, when calling application (like GnuCash) gives to GtkHTML GnomePrintContext and printing area (like x_offset, y_offset, width, height) and then will call for each page print.
So the interface could look like this:
void gtk_html_print_begin (GnomePrintContext *pc, gdouble x_off, gdouble y_offset, gdouble width, gdouble height); /* return value: FALSE - nothing printed, we are on the end of print, TRUE otherwise */ gboolean gtk_html_print_page (); void gtk_html_print_end ();OK, so what do you think?
Cheers
