That looks like it works, but it adds a couple of steps to printing every single
order.

Hopefully Bricklink will correct the bug they introduced somehow since it used
to work fine and now doesn't.

I'm not sure the problems are on Bricklink's end.

I don't use Firefox, but did a fresh install just to test it out. Orders
print just fine.

Ok, so the thing is, orders used to print bigger than they do now.

This changed when they changed the invoice page to include the refund information.

A workaround was found by printing orders at 150% which made them the same size
as they were before.

We usually print our orders scaled to 130% since it's big enough for our
pickers to see the details and saves us a few sheets of paper every day. This
used to work fine, all the information was there. Now, if we print at 130%, all
the info at the top right is gone. No shipping price, no previous orders and
so on.

We can print them at 110% in chrome and the info is still there, but it's
smaller than what we're used to and makes picking slightly slower as sometimes
6 and 8 can look similar etc.

From what I've seen, it does appear to be something bricklink did, but not
sure what it is.

Looks like the issue has been fixed. Just printed an order without right margin
issues.

If I embiggen it to 130% it still removes the right side. It didn't do this
before but now it does. Kind of annoying, we either print the orders smaller
and risk mistaking 6 and 8 which can lead to picking mistakes, or we print bigger
and have to manually write the information such as shipping rate because this
part is needed for when we pack orders.

Hopefully they'll find a way to make it go back to how it was.

It would be great if someone from Bricklink could confirm that they did indeed
change something and that they are working on it (or not).

I agree that it is really annoying not to be able to print at a larger scale.
Not sure what the fix was doing, but I would really like it to be changed back.
I use both Safari and Chrome and don't know how to print it larger. Some
smaller orders can be printed as landscape, but for the larger ones it is really
annoying.

We are aware of this issue and are in the process of prioritizing it.

I tried this on Firefox v111 and v118 and it worked on both versions.

This is exactly what we do (but I think I use 120%). I cannot read the invoices
after the refund info was added. I'm too old to see that small. It's
been driving me nuts so I'm glad it's being fixed!
