Print Screen is buggy - Preview not filling page

Posted on by RacRig5407

Came to this forum and found a dozen people with the same unanswered question: why does my print preview not fill up the printable area? I have watched a lot of videos on the Print() function and the Print screen templates, but in all those videos, when the dev clicks Print, the preview fills the entire area of the preview. This does not happen for me (and many others, I gather). It plugs my preview into a sub-space, apparently, which cannot be expanded by any means. I am using the Portrait Print screen template, but I have also tried adjusting the dimensions on a regular screen. Nothing comes out right and my users are very frustrated. Lots of the paper is wasted and the print is too small. Scroll bars are visible for some reason. And also an apparent border on something (a container that I can't find anywhere on the screen?) puts a line around everything. Any ideas how to remedy this? Is there something wrong with printer settings? Browser settings?

Hi RacRig5407,

The elements on the screen which you are trying to print, are those inside a Container? Make sure they are aligned in the Center with Flexible Width enabled. Hope this helps. It would be helpful if you could share what all elements you have on the screen.

Kind regards,

Nandit

@Nandit

Thank you, but no resolution so far. I currently have everything in a regular container, which allows me to position all the text labels where they need to be. So yes, the container is there but still results in the issue you see in the attached screenshot. There is no flexible width property on that type of container.

I tried experimenting with Vertical and Horizontal containers but they are hard to work with. Only the Horizontal has a setting for Flexible Width. Even so, nothing seems to help the print preview. It is always the same (as screenshot).
