A friend of mine asked me to make a tool which will let her print
graph paper with cells of chosen size. I want to make a php script to
output a table with cells being a given size to yeild graphpater when
webpage is printed. What I need to know is:

what is a printable area width and height of a webpage? I do realize
that the height part is somewhat hard to judge because webpage can go
on and on and on.... What is a pizel resolution of webpage in relation
to printer resolution? If user has his desktop resolution set to say
1024x768 vs user who has resolution set 800x600 if i put a table with
width 90% will this table when printed by both users occupy 90% of the
page width?

How does this analogy apply to cell height?

Thanks ahead
