User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; FreeBSD amd64) AppleWebKit/537.22 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/25.0.1364.172 Safari/537.22

Steps to reproduce:

Try printing this page: http://www.cookthink.com/recipe/18466/Heirloom_Beans_And_Rice_With_Smoked_Turkey



Actual results:

Result is mostly blank, main text is completely missing
There are three stylesheets specified with media="print".
Component: Untriaged → Printing: Output
Product: Firefox → Core
The same problem also occurs in Chrome, so I suspect this is an error (or intentional)
in the style sheet(s).
Component: Printing: Output → Desktop
OS: FreeBSD → All
Product: Core → Tech Evangelism
Hardware: x86_64 → All
Version: 17 Branch → unspecified
When inspecting the DOM:

<link type="text/css" rel="Stylesheet" media="screen" href="/stylesheets/base_1370863158.css"></link>
<link type="text/css" rel="Stylesheet" media="print" href="/stylesheets/base_1370863158.css"></link>
<link type="text/css" rel="Stylesheet" media="print" href="/stylesheets/print_1370863158.css"></link>
<link type="text/css" rel="Stylesheet" media="print" href="/stylesheets/print_my_cookthink_1262669081.css"></link>



This last CSS "/stylesheets/print_my_cookthink_1262669081.css" has plenty of `display: none` :)
when we deactivate it we can see the page, that said I have the feeling the print CSS needs to be reworked as a whole. It doesn't really work as intended it seems.



This is a candidate for http://webcompat.com/ Feel free to move it there and close it here.

This is still the case.
That said. I guess nobody really uses their Print feature because of the print button on recipes.
which leads to http://www.cookthink.com/recipe/print_recipe/18466
Which has a nice print preview.

Basically they could just drop the print CSS

email Brys (brys@cookthink.com) or Chip (chip@cookthink.com).

I  noticed that the footer sports a proud 2012, which makes me think that the site is not really maintained.

If I go to Press
http://www.cookthink.com/reference/2488/Press

2008 is the last news.

And the blog links to the personal site of Brys, with the latest blog post from May 25, 2016
http://www.brysstephens.com/

He is active on twitter.
https://twitter.com/BrysStephens/with_replies
but not a lot of interactions with users.

I'm switching to contactready without too much hope. 
Feel free to contact them and put the keyword to sitewait once done

See bug 1547409. Moving webcompat whiteboard tags to keywords.

This seems to be fixed, print preview loads the entire content.

Yuri can you still reproduce this?
