This was created over 2 years ago and works great. I'm baffled that the BS team didn't fix this on the BS3 version. Guess we'll have to wait for BS4. In the meantime, thank you, Sir! Excellent work.

I feel like an idiot. Can't figure out how to use it :-/ Seems to have no effect whatsoever.

Great!!!!!!!!

Everyone who uses this should buy you a beer, including me. Thank you!!!!!

Awesome work! Thank you

Nice, work perfectly!

THANKS A-LOT!

👍

Thank a lot. Its pretty Cool.

still working in 2017!! thanks

YESSSS!!!!! Awesome! Use this for this template: https://github.com/puikinsh/gentelella
It's been driving me crazy. Thanks!
I've also added the following in my CSS, otherwise the links of FA get appended to the icon in full text. Highly painful - like so many things in Bootstrap. It's a love hate relationship.

@media print {
a[href]:after {
content: none !important;
}
body {-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact !important;}
}

It doesn't work for me :(

Anyone how do I use this?

@jjaegerjaquez Declare the CSS classes on top of your page inside the style block. If it works, i would suggest you to use a LESS file or a dedicated CSS file.

Nice - first hit on the search. Copy / Paste - Done. Sweeeeet! Thank You Very Much!

Saved me a ton of work - thank you!!!

Excellent, in my case I changed it to render in MD instead of SM.

Perfect. Works great on my Certificates in print preview mode and A4 paper.

awesome
thanks a lot

Bootstrap 4.1.1 is out and this is STILL an issue 😞 . I tried changing what they recommend:
https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.1/getting-started/browsers-devices/#printing

@media print {
  @page {
    size: auto;
  }
}

and even overwriting their variable$print-page-size in _variables.scss to:

$print-page-size: auto;

but only your solution seems to work. Thank you 👍

Thank you so much for this!

@diegocam damn thanks! bootstrap 4 was the problem after all!

Thank you!!!

I just change the 'sm' to 'lg' in my VSCode and i can print desktop versions of my website now! Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot buddy

Cheers! great work!

I came out of depression :) Thank you

Its working fine for me...
Nice Job.

This is working fine for me. Great!

What a lifesaver in printing a Bootstrap 4 website into a PDF to turn into the SEC for a requirement! Thank God I found this!
