Printing a report cuts off the recommendations column

[bgoewert]

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

Printing. The recommendations column cuts off content before it can wrap. Changing the margin has a negative effect and cuts off more content. Changing the document size and orientation has no effect.

What did you expect to see?

The full recommendations, sizing correctly to the width of available space.

Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?

Size: US Letter (8.5 in X 11 in)
Margin: Default

Size: Tabloid (11 in X 17 in)
Margin: Default

Do you have anything more you want to share?

Tested on Chrome (143.0.7499.41) and Firefox (145.0.2).

Hi, I’m new to the project and would like to work on this issue.
I plan to investigate the print-specific layout and adjust the CSS to prevent
the recommendations column from being cut off during printing.
Please let me know if this approach sounds reasonable.

After checking the mdn-http-observatory repository, it appears this repo
contains backend and API logic only. The print layout and recommendations
column likely belong to the Observatory frontend/UI, which may live in a
different repository.

Could you confirm which repository contains the UI code responsible for
rendering and printing the report?

[bgoewert]

Good point. I had not made the distinction that this is backend only. I do not see anything about a public frontend repo, and I'm not part of Mozilla.

Thanks for confirming, and glad the distinction was helpful.
Given that this repository is backend-only, it does seem that the print
layout issue would need to be addressed in a separate frontend/UI codebase,
if one exists.

I don’t have further context on the frontend side, but I appreciate the clarification.

Support for printing these results isn't a high priority, but this is a legit issue. Putting into the backlog.
