This is an annoying problem, isn't it? When you encounter a page that doesn't paginate correctly, you could try disabling non-standard rendering of larger block elements using something like the following in the Web Console:

  var blocks = document.querySelectorAll('div,section,article'); 
  for (var i=0; i<blocks.length; i++) {
    if (window.getComputedStyle(blocks[i],null).getPropertyValue("display") != "block"){
      if (parseInt(window.getComputedStyle(blocks[i],null).getPropertyValue("height")) > 250) blocks[i].style.display="block";
    }
  }

See: https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Tools/Web_Console

Depending on the page layout, this may jumble some of the content. In cases where that is a serious problem, you'll need to reload the page and use a different workaround, such as a screenshot tool or a PDF converter that doesn't emulate printing.

The page on BMO uses a single-line column flex layout, but it prints on OK on Firefox even without bug 1622935. Anyway, printing a single-line flex container is fixed by 1622935.
