@media print – cannot identify container making text narrow

    I’ve been poking at this for weeks. For years, the custom CSS on my site has printed beautifully. I have many readers, students, and clients that print the web pages of my site, and I’ve taken pride in the fact that I’ve designed for print media since the earliest days of the web, but %$*(#”&)(@#$ I can’t figure out what is pushing the content container over to the right in the past few months, printing out a very narrow column, squishing everything on the printed page.

    I’ve jumped through every hoop, even saving the web page to my drive and working with a local copy of the stylesheet, and it works there perfectly. Won’t work on WordPress.com.

    I went through every DIV I could find. It started happening about the time the new interface was released. I’ve tried to use display:none on #wpadminbar but I can’t find what is shoving the text over on the left side.

    It’s now time to get help. I know I don’t always ask easy ones, but this one is bonkers and I’m starting to stress out on it. Thanks!

    @lorelle, in your @media print, try setting #container to
    float: left !important;

    This is a little hard to troubleshoot, but when I do that and click print in Safari, it gets everything back over to the left where it should be.
