Printing tables in Shopify Order Printer

[mosschop]

I am in the process of moving my templates from the legacy order printer to the new Shopify Order Printer.

I seem to have everything updated to show it how I want.

The only problem is if I have an order with a lot of items, the table goes onto the second page.

This worked properly before using <tr style="page-break-inside:avoid">, but doesn't work in the new order printer.

How can I get it so that the table is split properly when it is too long to fit on one page?

Original order printer.

New order printer.

Thanks.

Wish I could help, but I am unfortunately having a very similar issue with page breaks. I've tried any known method I could find to force page breaks online and none of them seem to have any effect in the new app. I'm no developer, but I'm certainly not a complete novice when it comes to HTML/ CSS, and I cannot find a way to make this work.

About an hour ago I sent an email to Shopify support outlining my issue and am waiting for a response. I'll report back if I get anything useful from them, but I don't have much faith honestly. I have run into so many issue with this "updated" version - I would bet money that this is just a limitation of the app itself, and there is no workaround.

Incredibly frustrated with this "new" order printer app.

I received an update from the Shopify Dev team a couple days ago - They informed me they have corrected the issue with page break styles. I have tested both "page-break-inside" and "page-break-after" styles and they seem to be working as expected.

My test template for page-break-inside styling:

<table style="border: 1px solid black; width: 100%">
  {% for line_item in line_items %}
    <tr style="height:100px; border: 1px solid black; page-break-inside: avoid;">
      <td>{{ line_item.title }}</td>
    </tr>
  {% endfor %}
</table>

Big relief for me that they addressed this issue. While I would have much preferred the app be released without such issues in the first place, I must say I am very satisfied with Shopify support in this circumstance.
