Latest instance: VTDIGGER.ORG had an article I wanted to print, 3 pages, I set it up to print, got only page one complete, the other two were headed page 2, page 3, but no content. So, I switched to IE, brought up VTDIGGER.ORG, and printed all three - no problem. Need explanation, please and thank you. [email protected]

Appears to be caused by that website's @media print css coding and a DIV that extends beyond the first printed page. I see that happen with every page that I inspected at that website.

@media print css is used to strip out the "un-necessary on paper" content from what is displayed on the screen and re-formats the content for printing.

Unfortunately, the media-screen page contains that css code, there isn't a separate "Printer Ready" button being used there. That makes it very difficult to figure out where the exact issue lies, and then try to come up with a "userContent" work-around to fix that issue globally.

Have you tried using "print to PDF", then saving the PDF file, and then printing that PDF file? That usually works for this type of issue with printing only the first of multiple pages appearing in Print Preview and being sent to the printer.
