I print out the Crossword on my newspapers webpage (Chronicle Herald, Halifax NS) using the selection buttons. I ALWAYS get a page 2, which is blank, when I print. The workaround is to tell the print dialogue to only print the "odd pages" which is page one. Curiously the printer dialogue says there is only one page, but there is a scroll bar that shows the blank one. I do NOT have this problem with MS Edge! Only Chrome, on a Windows 11 desk top computer. I tried to work with the Herald IT guys but they cannot reproduce the problem! It's not a big deal, but I'm curious about the issue and would like to fix it. Meanwhile I can use the workaround in Chrome or print from Edge. What do you think?
