After the last update I can not make a correct print of the website. It seems that the page that appears is the page that you see on a phonebut not the page you see on a pc.
I have two examples of the same page. The first page withe the older version and the second with the last update.

When you refer to "older version" are you referring to Version 12 or an earler release of Version 13. In the one remaining project I have which uses tables, I get the same effect you get with the content of the tables cut off on the right hand side.
I have resorted to laying out cells on the page to emulate a table, this gives me absolute control over the layout at less than desktop resolution, and I was pleasantly pleased to note that these pages print dramatically better in V13.1.1.9 than in earlier releases.
Do you have this issue with page content for other than tables?
If you intend to continue using tables can I recommend you create an idea post requesting that table content be correctly reproduced when printing a page of the website.
PS There are posts on this board that suggest code which can create responsive tables, I have no idea how these might print. I have chosen to stay with native WebsiteX5 code, so at the moment I have abandoned tables.

When I use cells to make a table then it is also not possible to make a correct print in version V13.1.1.9
The first six cells in a row (and I have made 12 colums) are in a print placed in one colum) See attachment.
How odd! When I do this I get either 2 or 4 columns on each page (perhaps try removing the empty columns?)
Can you upload your "work in progress" to a temp directory on your file server? (eg public_html\temp) so we can see the results of print for ourselves? We might then be able to offer a better solution.
If all else fails, or you specifically require the page to print exactly as on the website, you may have to resort to creating a pdf of each page and saving it as a link from a print icon.
This offers some advantages because you can manipulate the pdf or image to be more appropriate for printing and if necessary reposition and exclude certain content so it will fit on one printed page.
This issue is not unique to WX5. Sadly the way browsers render the screen for printing does not appear to have kept pace with cascading style sheets and other features embedded into modern web pages.
You will find an example here, it was created because at the time WX5 created a webpage that when printed had no resemblance to the original (as is the case with your page)

I have added a print option, top right on the page.
Perhaps others can assist with an easier solution.
