Thanks for raising this issue. I have the same concern. You asked why this is so hard, so I will attempt to answer this question first: It is so hard because most web system designers do not consider this feature important. In their mind, it is not a requirement, so they do not implement this feature or test it. There may also be some web system designers that do not want you to be able to capture the web page, and actually go out of their way to make this difficult or impossible. You also ask for suggestions. I believe the reason that printing does not work is that Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) allow the web system designer to change the layout of the web page for different devices (so that the presentation on a small smart phone can have a completely different appearance from that of a large monitor). What is needed is the ability to OVERRIDE the default or provided style sheet for printing to instead use a style sheet suitable for the selected printer. Perhaps this could be implemented in a browser plug in. This is certainly something I would be interested in.
