Problems printing with Chrome and Firefox
 

Running Atahualpa 3.6.7 with all 5 patches installed and WordPress 3.2.1
URL: http://clippingin.dk/ and http://makoni.dk

The problem is with both Chrome and Firefox browsers:
When printing any page from my sites only the left-sidebar is printed + a lot of blank pages with Firefox (109 blank pages with homepage of http://makoni.dk).

Disabling all plugins makes no difference.

Using Internet Explorer seems to work.

Am I the only one to see this problem?

How are you doing the printing? using the browser print function? a screen print? a plugin?

Standard browser print, nothing fancy. Just Ctrl+P.
This is the preview screen in Chrome browser og the frontpage of http://makoni.dk:

Click on image to see full size.

At the moment the site http://clippingin.dk is a mostly closed site, but there I maybe found a little clue: The center part of the page (where post and pages are displayed) seems to be printed to the right of the page (outside the paper). On the page in question I see the leftmost pixels of the page content as the rightmost pixels right before the right printmargin.

The dotted line to the right (just before the right margin) on the screendump, is the dotted line between left sidebar and the pagearea from the Atahualpa theme.

try using wp-print

Tried installing plugin wp-print on both domains, but it makes no difference.

I have now been looking at some pages html code (view source), and it seems the "@media print" style section is not terminated correctly (missing } at the end). At least as I understand this page: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/media.html.

The styles in this "@media print" section disables all the sidebars, but none of them seems to work, maybe because of the missing } at the end.

try this, edit css.php and find the following (lines 2072-2078)
and change it to

That did the trick, except for one small annoying detail: when I get back from print, the page needs a refresh to show the content again. Just like the print preview before.

This last small error is only visible i Chrome browser, but works fine in Firefox.

don't you just love how all browsers work the same. I get the same issue in Safari, but not in firefox on a mac.

In Safari, I get a image of the screen print, but in firefox I just get a print dialogue.

Is the refresh problem happening on both Chrome and FireFox?
What OS are you using?

The refresh problem is only in Chrome.
OS is Windows XP.

Don't know if there is any solution too that :(

I had the same trouble, thanks for this trick
I confirme it's still Ok with FF but with Chrome, all the text goes to the right column and the middle one is blank
