Why is that web browsers, after 30 years, still cannot properly format HTML pages for printing?

@J12t Because html by design is layout agnostic? Because open source html is bastardized by for-profit vendors? ...? I don't understand it. If it can be rendered on a digital display, then surely it can be rendered on paper? A browser window can be resized to the same aspect ratio and scale as paper. So what's the difference? @rzeta0 pagination. But if that were all that’s broken, I wouldn’t be complaining… @J12t knowing printers for the last 40 years, I assume it's because of the printers! 😂. You know... Rage Against the Machine never told us "the Machine" is a printer... But we all know It is. |
@J12t Because HTML, and more to the point, CSS is woefully unfit for purpose and utterly sucks.
