Safari prints in landscape on portrait setting

Hi,

I am switching from a windows computer and just bought the new Mac mini. I have always used chrome. I am trying out safari. I am trying to print an article from a web page. When I try to print from Safari the print preview is trying to print it landscape on a portrait page so it cuts off half of the page. I know I can put in in landscape view and make it work but I want it on portrait. It should automatically adjust with in the portrait margins. When I use chrome on the Mac mini it properly aligns the article within the portrait print area. I would like to use safari but I am not sure how to solve this. Thanks in advance!

Mac mini, 10.14

So it looks like it is not safari that is the problem, it is the website that has the article. I noticed going to other sites that safari worked perfectly. It turns out the build of the website works with chrome but not safari. I have sent feedback to the website. After searching I was finally able to find some others on a tech site that were having a similar problem. The conversations confirmed it was not safari but the source. In the meantime I will have to use chrome as a work around until that is fixed. Just wanted to pass that along as an FYI in case anyone needs it in the future.
