I wanted to create some pages on a Drupal blog and I wanted to control pagination when printing to paper. This blog is using the default "bartik" theme. I found two ways. Both work with recent versions of IE and Firefox; both fail with webkit (Safari and Chrome). In order to use the following, you must use the "full html" text format (not Markdown, not filtered html, not plain text), and you must use the plain text editor.

The easy way -- put the following line in your blog posting body, wherever you want a page break on print:

<div style="page-break-before: always;"></div>

</code>

The hard way -- edit drupal/themes/bartik/css/print.css and append the following:

 .page-break { page-break-before: always; }

</code>

Then put the following line in your blog posting body, wherever you want a page break on print:

<div class="page-break"></div>

</code>

So far, so good -- so long as you use IE or Firefox. Chrome and Safari will respect page-break for some people on some sites, but they are really touchy about other elements of your CSS. Something about bartik or Drupal prevents them from processing page-break. Since Chrome and Safari will ignore our page-break code, I thought it might be nice to warn users of those browsers. But not every user of my pages will print them, so I decided to display the warning only for Chrome/Safari users who actually try to print my pages.

I appended the following to drupal/themes/bartik/css/print.css:

@media print and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0) { .warnwebkit {display: inline; } } 

</code>

and at the end of each of my printable pages I add the following:

<div class="warnwebkit"> This story will paginate properly with recent versions of Firefox and Internet Explorer. They paginate poorly with Chrome/Safari. Sorry about that. </div>
