Running 3.0.4.0 (not sure if that would technically be 3.0.3.9 still)
Antropy Electron Theme (CSS based)
PHP 7.4
Brave Browser v1.66.115 (it did it on the previous version as well)

When I select orders to "Print Invoice" - I always get an additional blank page at the end. Does it if there is 1 order or multiple. The extra page does not show on the print preview - but when I go to print, the page count is 1 more page than it should be.

My previous cart was 1.5.1.3 - and it started doing something similar for the last year or so but was random. Might not do it at all, other times, would add a blank page to one order in the middle of the print list. 3.0.4.0 does it every time.

Any suggestions what might be causing this? Im new to 3.x and (went straight from 1.5.x to 3.x) starting to try and learn my way around a little bit better.

Thanks
Wade

Do you get the same issue when using FireFox or Chrome? Basically, the admin's backend sale/order/invoice is just rendered HTML, and it's up to the browser to do the final printing, so it could be a browser issue.

Dont know why I didnt think about checking that... Duh moment I guess.

Just checked FireFox, and it does not add the blank page. Checked single invoice and multiples - and neither instance showed an extra page. So it appears its a Brave Browser thing. Guess that means I need to either go back to firefox for printing invoices or look into the Brave browser side of things to see what/why/if there is a solution.

I get the same issue in Chrome. I think it may be a Chrome bug (and the other browsers based on the same engine). See viewtopic.php?t=230383.

Sounds like printing from Firefox is probably the thing to do here.

Yeah, I guess... Wonder how other websites manage to keep chrome based browsers from printing extra blank pages?

By choosing to only print the first page through the computers print window.

Im meaning the multitude of websites that dont print the extra page automatically when viewed in the Brave browser. Without user intervention to stop the extra page. Minds that need examining what to know... :laugh:
