@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (Aug 17, 2021):

My guess is it's getting hung up on the full-height sidebar, or the footer. @thatmattlove any ideas?

In v2.x we have a noprint utility CSS class that we use to hide certain elements from the printable view, but it doesn't seem to have made it into v3.0. Maybe that's the approach we should take?

/* Printer friendly CSS class and various fixes for printing. */
@media print {
    .noprint {
        display: none !important;
    }
}

09d745d should contain several fixes for printing including that one @jeremystretch, as well as fixing this issue. FWIW, it was actually due to:

main.layout {
  display: flex;
  height: 100vh;
  overflow-x: auto;
  overflow-y: hidden;
}

(the overflow and display properties, mainly)

There's now a media override in place:

main.layout {
  @media print {
    position: static !important;
    display: block !important;
    height: 100%;
    overflow-x: visible !important;
    overflow-y: visible !important;
  }
}
