I would like to print my family tree which is very wide. When I am trying to
print it, I can print only the leftmost side. Also HTML designers cannot print
all their work - it is impossible to print a page 800 px wide.

Sometimes a page can be scaled down to 50% but it doesn't always work. I suggest
to implement printing in tiles: I can print a long page (output to printer can
have 500 pages) but there is no way to print a wide page. Why?

I often use the optin of printing in tiles in MS Excel or in CorelDraw! But the
page in question cannot be smoothly imported to any of them.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to print any page which is wider than 500px, e.g. the page in case
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Only leftmost part of the page is printed

Expected Results:  
Everything that can be seen (using scrollbars) should be printable.
