Neither resource is a website, but when I first started, I got a chord chart at Walmart. Has a lot of chords on it and if you get a cheap poster frame, you can hang it up where you play and use it for reference.

For the scales I got a dvd, cd, book combo called: Total Scales, Techniques and Applications by MJS Music publications.
I bought it about 6 months into learning guitar but didn't follow through with it until more recently.

The DVD was very discouraging because the instructor flies through things like he was born with a guitar. I just didn't have the ability to keep up at all so I gave up on it. Fast forward to a couple months ago (my 18th month of playing) and I started taking the book lessons more seriously. Somehow I misplaced the dang dvd and cd though, so I need to find those to give a better review. I am pretty sure I could keep up much better now though and I do the book lessons daily on my own with a metronome. It definitely helps and is extremely thorough, maybe a bit overwhelming, but thorough for sure.

Heres a link to each of the items I mentioned:

couldn't find the walmart one but this is pretty similar:

Hope that helps.

I don't know that it's great for printing, but Howard's List of Guitar Chords is a good resource.

Scaleopia - for some reason their site was down for a while but I've just checked it this morning. It's got gazillions of scales, including South Asian Rag and oriental scales.
