How to print modern pages?
Hi, does anyone have a clue on how to print modern SharePoint pages?
I've tried IE and Chrome, and both just want to print a page clip of the current view.
Am I missing something, is this currently just not possible? Could someone from Microsoft possibly pitch in, and tell us if there is a print friendly view available or in the works?
- just wanted to bump this thread, since this is still an unresolved issue for us.
- Hey guys,
Check this post about it ;)

Hope it helps!This looks really neat- will try it for a Knowledge Base I'm building right now. Thank you, calejo!
If you have any feedback please share!
Are there any news on this feature?
- Ohh if this wasn't so sad, you would laugh. Some progress *has* been made here! Much to my surprise. The layout of our modern pages has changed recently (hadn't noticed) but the content is now in a scrolling box in the middle with "Like, Comment, Views" on the fixed area at the bottom.
So with bated breath I tried to print a small modern page and thought it had been fixed in that the first page looked fine... horary I thought *except* when I printed the document (or previewed) on screen, the 2nd page was blank.
And now to the really, really laughable bit - it works in Chrome... well at least you get two pages with all the content except the colour is a bit washed out. I'll print to PDF so I can upload here.- With bated breath I installed the latest April update which has lots of updates for Edge. Nope, still can't print modern web pages in Microsoft's own Office 365 product. Bordering on pathetic now guys :-( So we continue to roll out Chrome... talk about shooting yourself in the foot.
thank you @Ivan Unger for trying to get a resolution.
It is unfortunate that this post did not get any response from MS despite you have been asking two times.
We have discovered the issue while been in a middle of an implementation. it is very hard when a basic functionality ( like printing a page) that is taken for granted is missing.
In disbelieve , I've spent hours trying different approaches ( different browsers; saving as PDF, exporting to Office documents, screen capture, etc.) . You post at least confirmed that this is systemic issues. I've posted vote on https://sharepoint.uservoice.com/forums/329214-sites-and-collaboration/suggestions/32229454-printing-modern-pages . But it has only 20 votes.
MS is not eating own dog food as , for example, https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/surface-laptop/p/90fc23dv6snz?activetab=pivot:overviewtab prints just fine.
Hi Mark-Kashman , is there any progress to be expected regarding the printing issues with modern pages for this year?
Hi Mark-Kashman, sorry to mention you twice here, but my first try didn't receive any response and there weren't any news at ignite about this either.
Is there any kind of progress to expected for printing modern pages. I'd basically be happy if the printing layout would borrow the one from the mobile apps, and reformat everything into one column. I guess this wouldn't be so hard.
- I've had a ticket open with Microsoft pretty much since modern SharePoint pages were introduced because they are unprintable. It beggars belief that it's still an issue.
Hi Ivan54,
When you print a page with Shrink to fit (sounds like responsive printing) enabled the page looks indeed very poor. When you set the page to 50% then all suddenly looks a lot better. Maybe not a great solution, but at least better than nothing.
- I guess the answer is that modern browsers are not ready to print modern pages so the result you get when printing a modern page just stinks
