I, and I imagine many others, like to print an end of year copy of my Mileage Summary. I noticed this morning when attempting to do so that the new screen format intorduced last fall is not very printer friendly as (with IE) it takes the horizontal tabs across the top of the summary and prints them stacked and expanded down the left side. Wouldn't be so bad if it filled a whole page that could then be discarded (or not selected for printing), but the actual summary starts about an inch from the bottom of the first page. Landscape format is better in that the first page can then be discarded, but the summary is long and narrow so it doesn't make very good use of the page.

The summaries I printed last year didn't have this problem, so it is a "new improvement." You'd think web designers would actually try common operations with their sites, like printing. Ideal (and not a big challenge) would be a "Printer Friendly Version" button that would deliver a suitable for printing version, either html or pdf.
