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!

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
