The Beast in the Web

Twice now I have printed web pages and had the right sides chopped off at the end; they printed too wide. Someone told me that the standard printing width of a web page was 700 pixels. I thought for sure 640 was more likely since that number is part of a standard screen resolution (640x480). I did some testing and found out we were both wrong. The maximum number of pixels in a web page before it overflows on the right appears to be 666. If so, then someone had fun injecting The Beast of Revelation's number into HTML and the Web.
