Hi all, trying to print out Ryanair's terms and conditions: http://www.ryanair.com/en/terms-and-conditions. Unfortunately, only the first page is printing out. This is on Mac Safari & Firefox and Windows 8 IE9 and Google Chrome. It happens when trying to print to either of my printers or straight to PDF. Is it a problem with the site, or is it just me?

THat print option on the site does appear to only have a single page in it.

And yet, it spews out loads of blank pages! Not just me then.

That's correct!

If (using Firefox) you select Print/Preview you'll notice that Page 2 and onwards are all blank. Ditto if you select the print icon on the front page...

From what I've heard that's Wray-and-Blair all over - all Presentation, no Substance!

Best,

Ian.

That's quite funny. 17 pages but only the first one has anything on.

All I can suggest is, if you really need it select the entire text and then "print selection".

I think I'm going to delve into it with firebug and see if it's something simple that I can change, like color: white or something. Just wanted to print it as we're going to see my parents and trying to go hand luggage only with a two year old. Fed up of looking it up every time we think of something that we might not be allowed to take!

http://www.printfriendly.com/print/?sou ... conditions

Useful site (along with instapaper) for digesting content and getting it into an easy to print format

There's a <div class="print"> ... </div> around the part which does print.

I suspect that if you move the </div> to after the last page, that might help.

The page also uses separate print css files (go to view source, they are in the header), royally messes up the conent/styling hence why they appear empty at a best guess
