This issue is due to use of frame-sets in the webpage.
To print the entire content of the page , right-click in the content section of the page and select "This Frame > Print This Frame"

I got the same error. When used print option only half of the page displays this might because the website has a scroll bar.

This is most critical of raft of print bugs with migration to Adobe functionality.  Print is one of those things that needs to "just work" and for a long time it did until it was "improved" by using Adobe collaboration.  With that, now I'd say 1/3 of my print attempts fail, and fail in ugly and incomprehensible ways. 

As a result of this bug, can only "print" the first of indeterminate number of pages from U.S. Federal Court PACER web pages, which have a very conventional legacy HTML flavor and have not changed significantly in years.  Only workaround is to save complete HTML, open in IE.  Don't know politics behind Adobe move, but as end-user has only resulted in major regressions and loss of functionality and credibility.
