Two‐column barcode printing fails: footer SVG (via jsBarcode) appears only on the final printed page.
<html><body><div id="itmBar"></div><footer id="fxBar"></footer><script>createBar("itmBar","ITEM001");createBar("fxBar","BOX999");</script></body></html>
The behavior might be due to how the browser processes SVGs in print mode. In my experience, ensuring that the content is fully rendered before triggering the print helps resolve such issues. Sometimes, forcing a redraw of the SVG or reinitializing jsBarcode during the print event produces all elements correctly on every page. It is also useful to review any print-specific CSS that might hide or overlap elements. A careful audit of the initialization sequence tied to print can determine if a delay or re-rendering process is necessary.
I encountered a similar issue in a project where printed content was generated dynamically. What eventually worked for me was ensuring that all SVG elements were fully rendered before the printing process started. I added a brief delay after the SVG generation so that the browser could finish its rendering tasks. In one instance, I had to also adjust the CSS for print media to prevent overlapping elements, which was causing some SVGs not to show on earlier pages. Testing in different browsers was also key to ironing out these inconsistencies.
hey ppl, i had a similar issue with printer rendering quirks. sometimes the svgs dont fully load before printing. a short delay or forcing a redraw when the print event fires can help. also check that there isnt any css hiding the footer on older pages.
In my experience, the issue was often related to the browser’s printing phase not fully accounting for dynamically generated SVG content. I found that manually invoking a reflow technique – by temporarily changing a style attribute just before initiating the print command – ensured that all generated elements were correctly laid out. Additionally, ensuring that the JavaScript rendering process completes before activating the print dialog, either via explicit callbacks or slight timing adjustments, yielded consistent results across pages. Such methods help mitigate timing conflicts inherent to print rendering.
In my personal experience, I found that timing issues during SVG initialization can lead to inconsistent print results. I eventually determined that the problem was not with jsBarcode itself, but rather with how the browser computed layout during printing. By ensuring that the rendering was completely finished—specifically waiting for the window’s load event—I was able to guarantee that every page correctly displayed the SVG. This method combined with verifying that no print-specific CSS rules inadvertently hid certain elements helped resolve the issue in my application.
