Web browsers, at least any I’ve seen so far, are not designed to display or print very large images. The maps are designed the print on a standard 300 dpi inkjet or laserjet printer. The image size is approximately 2400×3150 pixels. Web browsers usually display images that fit on a screen (1024×768). If you try to print the maps from a web browser, it tries to print one page for each screen’s worth of information. The result is a one page map printing on numerous pages. There’s no way I’m aware of to get a web browser to print the maps correctly. For this reason, I recommend using a separate gif-viewing program to view and print the maps.
