I’ve had some problems with getting the archive pages to print properly, too. As with Jessica Simpson’s shorts, the bottoms keep getting cut off. (The Capote image above is a mere demonstration of the archive’s cool contents and the DRM-skirting power of Grab, not a dramatic exaggeration of the printing snafu, although it could be that, too.) Coincidence? Bug? Feature? The flummoxed reader’s report:

Are you having any trouble printing pages? When I print, the pages come out looking like shite, and I’ve got a pretty up-to-date printer (HP 720C). I e-mailed their technical service line, but I never heard back.

Update: New Yorker Head of Library Jon Michaud has the answers.
Also, much, much later:: The Complete New Yorker troubleshooting page now has this Jon-echoing note.

I am a Mac user, and I can’t get the last 2 or 3 lines of each column on the page to print properly. I’ve already tried adjusting the page size and my printer is working fine. What should I do?
From the print dialog box, select “Save as PDF,” and specify a location where you want to save it. The PDF file that is generated should open in Preview automatically. In the PDF, select Page Setup from the File Menu, and change the scale option from 100% to 95%. Click OK, and then print the PDF file. (You may need to change the scale % more or less, depending on your printer.)
