print stylesheet, one page prints and cuts off remaining text

I'm working on a printable list of events, the printer prints one page fine, but cuts off some of the text on the bottom, then it print a second blank page

I've tried everything I know but am at a loss.

Solution 1:

In print.css, set overflow: visible instead of overflow: auto on div#content. That fixed it for me in Firefox at least. The definition of overflow auto is: "If overflow is clipped, a scroll-bar should be added to see the rest of the content" -- but scroll bars don't exist on printed pages.

I'm guessing that since the content div should span across multiple pages, the browser thinks "you're flowing outside your container and must be clipped with a scroll bar". The container in that case is the first page the content div appears on.

Solution 2:

I know this is an old question but here's another, newer way this can happen.

Check if you're using display: flex; on the clipped element. It was the problem for me, setting it to block fixed it.

Solution 3:

I found that setting display: inline on container divs also helped. Some of these great answers here have worked for me in certain situations while in others no.

<div class="container">
    <div class="content-cutting-off-here">
        Some long text that gets cut off at the end of the page...
    </div>
</div>

Most people set containers to display block or inline-block. For me it was cutting off text, and setting it to inline circumvented that. This also makes width and height irrelevant for the offending container div; which I have found to be a nuisance when printing.

@media print {
    .container {
        display: inline;
    }
}

Here is a great article that helped me with this solution.
