Specie Printout

The print-out format seems to be messy and very much over-sized since they upgraded the website. Usually spread over 4 pages, sometimes more. Has anyone found a neat way to edit it, or an alternative...

Can't fill in today's Jumbo Cryptic on-line. Grid is overprinted by the clues. Also unable to post this comment on their forum. Has no-one else had similar problems today?

Seems harder than usual this week. Struggled through to last one: 23A: Stage king free of inner character (7) A-C-A-D. By the way - 3 Down is a (5,4) not a (4,5) as printed.
