YESSSS!!!!! Awesome! Use this for this template: https://github.com/puikinsh/gentelella
It's been driving me crazy. Thanks!
I've also added the following in my CSS, otherwise the links of FA get appended to the icon in full text. Highly painful - like so many things in Bootstrap. It's a love hate relationship.

@media print {
a[href]:after {
content: none !important;
}
body {-webkit-print-color-adjust: exact !important;}
}

It doesn't work for me :(

@jjaegerjaquez

Anyone how do I use this?

@james-poulose

@jjaegerjaquez Declare the CSS classes on top of your page inside the style block. If it works, i would suggest you to use a LESS file or a dedicated CSS file.

Bootstrap 4.1.1 is out and this is STILL an issue 😞 . I tried changing what they recommend:
https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.1/getting-started/browsers-devices/#printing

@media print {
  @page {
    size: auto;
  }
}

and even overwriting their variable$print-page-size in _variables.scss to:

$print-page-size: auto;

but only your solution seems to work. Thank you 👍

What a lifesaver in printing a Bootstrap 4 website into a PDF to turn into the SEC for a requirement! Thank God I found this!
