Which browser do you use? Unsurprisingly supporting media print queries hasn't been top priority for some browsers. It makes total sense, but when you suddenly need it for something it does suck.

That was on Safari, but I just tried on Brave (Chromium-based), and the result is pretty similar

  • I'm looking on Chrome for Windows and it looks just like the web view.

    I am with those disagreeing with the original proposal that websites should be printable. There are so many things that go into showing you a web page and so many things that go into preparing that page for print. Even something basic like this isn't consistent.

    • Unfortunately I just tried Chrome for Mac, and it too insists on inserting a spurious page-break to keep the giant screenshot on the 2nd page. I couldn't find a CSS incantation to prevent this.
