[vox-tech] FireFox print - margins and space

In FF, when I print a page, sometimes the logical page is pushed far to the
right of the printed page. I'm not really knowledgeable about this sort of
thing, but I assume this is because there's some CSS that specifies a
layout.
For example, consider this page:
http://treehouse.ofb.net/go/en/vaccinations/Chile
I don't want the top banner or the left side navigation bar in my printout.
So I select the main page, starting with "Vaccinations, Innoculations..."
and ending at the bottom of the page "who have chronic medical conditions",
right-click, and choose "Remove Everything Else".
Now I'm looking at the content I want to print, but the space for the left
side nav-bar is still there. I would estimate that it's about 8-10 em's
wide. Using "Print Preview" verifies that this left margin will be present
in the printout.
Is there a way of telling FF to collapse left side margins so I can make
full use of the printed page?
I realize I could use Web Developer to disable CSS, but this often causes
havoc with the layout of the content that I do want to print.
I could also hand edit the CSS, but that's often really difficult.
Is there a way of collapsing margins for better printing in FF?
