Printing Pages from HUD's Site

Information by State  Esta página en español  Print version

Many times, visitors to HUD's site choose to print pages from the site. If you have a standard printer with 8-1/2 by 11 paper, you may experience problems with content getting "cut off" on the right side of your page. To resolve these problems, we recommend the following three solutions:

	Use the HUD print version
	Change the print margins in your browser
	Print the page in landscape

Use Our Print Version

Many of the pages on HUD's Homes and Communities site include a printer-friendly version, specially formatted to accommodate almost any printer, browser, and platform. If this service is available on the page you want to print, this is your best bet for a clean, readable print-out. To view the printer-friendly version, click the Print version link on the right side of most pages.
