The "printable version" link (adding printable=yes to the query string) is meant to activate the print stylesheet for on-screen display. On the Modern skin, this isn't working correctly. While many UI elements correctly disappear, the background, borders, sidebar, fonts etc are still all there as the on-screen display. An actual print preview shows a nice spare "print look", which may indicate that this skin is using its own @media print overrides. (Tested in Firefox 3.0b5)
Created attachment 4851 [details] proposed patch patch to add new rules in print.css, tested in Minefield (i.e. Firefox) 3.0b5 and Firefox 2.0.0.7. Maybe modern skin should also load skins/common/commonPrint.css like monobook does.
Aha! Figured it out and fixed in r34058. Problem was that the Modern skin uses a different way of setting up the print stylesheet from the other skins. Others: * always include main stylesheet * override that stuff with print stylesheet for print media or ?printable=yes Modern: * include main stylesheet for screen & projection media only * add some additional print styles for print media or ?printable=yes The screen stylesheet was still being used when ?printable=yes is set, but would be hidden when actually printing. I've changed it to now exclude the screen stylesheets when ?printable=yes is switched in, so it looks the same on screen as when actually printing.
