Just to make this easier I published the song book I'm having problems with, hopefully you can just use that and try it out, here it is: <a href="http://www.chordie.com/publicbooks.php?show=details&songid=32439" target="_blank"> http://www.chordie.com/publicbooks.php? … s&song id=32439</a>

Okay I hadn't noticed the print button, but when I use that as opposed to just file print I do actually see the same issue in IE7 with all the chords being stuffed against the front page. This happens no matter which device I print to.
In printing from FireFox I see a host of other issues, mostly related to various tracks that seem to either gain extra spaces in tablature like this:
e--1----------------------
B--2----------------------
G-------------------------
D-------------------------
<etc>
or lose spacing altogether
like this:
e--1----------------------B--2----------------------G------- ------------------D-------------------------
the net result is I seem to have to edit every song to try and get it to print correctly and sometimes that doesn't even work.
Okay here's more info, one of the tracks that does it is Tangled Up in Blue... I see it in IE 7 The first line "Early one morning teh sun was shinin', I was layin' in bed" all the chords are on top of each other at the front of the line (image attached) url for the track is <a href="http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.russell-lawson.com%2Fmusic%2Fchordpro%2FBobDylan_TangledUpInBlue.cpm&songbook=source&transpose=0" target="_blank"> http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/?url= … 2Fwww.russ ell-lawson.com%2Fmusic%2Fchordpro%2FBobDylan_TangledUpInBlue .cpm&songbook=source&transpose=0</a>
note this only happens when it prints as part of my songbook, if I print the page individually it works as expected.
I also tried firefox this morning and had similar issues.
textsize is default (medium) and zoom in 100%

is anyone else having problems printing songs from their songbook (using the print songbook option) with ie7 first I had problems with everything printing Tiny which was replicated in firefox as well, then I found it was certain songs that needed line breaks, now I find that many songs don't print properly, the main issue being that when printing the chords overlap each other, Brown eyed girl by Van Morrison does this for instance, as do many other tracks.
This is unfortunate as it makes it really hard to use the print feature!
thanks!

The song was Wonderful tonight by eric clapton.
I'll give it a shot, but the very first page, the listing of songs is wrong, it doesn't just go wrong after a song or two...
A single song worked fine, so does the next one.
What I do notice is that when I look at the songbook in explorer, the horizontal scroll bar is huge, I can move it way right into blank space, this has got be related...
So then I scrolled down and found one song that had bad formatting and was causing this! Horray!
Removed that song, and voila it's better!
I have this problem on multiple computers, it seems somehow related to the layout of the songbook, but when I choose to view and print my entire songbook it prints out with the text very small (like 5 or 6 point) and in the top left of the page. This happens weather I print to my printer, or to Acrobat to make a PDF. It happens if I use IE 7 or Firefox 2.0 to do the printing.
Opening the page in word gives me layout errors, has anyone found an effective way to print to a PDF file to take your songbooks with you for practicing?
thanks!
