I've been looking through a lot of answers here on stackoverflow that semi-cover what I'm wondering about, but haven't found anything that worked for me.
I understand that the printing page is about 550 px for A4 and therefor bootstrap will use the styles and layout usually used for mobile devices.
When I use Ctrl+P for my web page, the printable page looks just like the mobile version of my page. But how do I make it look like the desktop version? (media > 1024 px) Is there a way to do this?
I know I can change the css specifically for print. But how to solve this thing with the bootstrap 3 grid system? The width on my divs gets based on what I have added for col-xs, but I want print to use the layout (width) for col-md
Edit: After I have been struggeling with this for some more hours I realize that it might be more complex than I first expected. Just changing the width doesn't solve it for me. Many of my divs has the syntax of
<div class="md-right sm-right xs-down col-md-1 col-sm-2 box"></div>
or
<div class="col-md-4 col-sm-6 col-xs-12"></div>
The page looks good in XS for small devices, but printing in XS makes many elements look gigantic. So the question remains. Is there a way to make the printing page look the same as the layout for medium or large devices? Or do I have to make the printing css without using bootstrap grid system and add static widths in pt for all elements to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance
I ended up solving the problem using an own print.css file without all the responsive bootstrap stuff included. Only included some of the necessary bootstrap things with show and hide.
