: the thing the browser actually prints is the HTML/CSS your JSP generates. was correct that you need to inspect the produced markup; was also right that print margins and paper size can cause clipping. The practical approach is to (a) find any fixed-width containers or overflow rules in the popup, and (b) add a small print stylesheet that forces content to fit the printable area.

Quick troubleshooting checklist:

  • Open the popup, use View Source or Developer Tools to find elements with fixed pixel widths, absolute positioning, or overflow:hidden.
  • Use Print Preview to note paper size (A4 vs Letter) and whether content extends beyond the printable region.
  • Add an @media print stylesheet to remove nonessential UI, constrain images/tables with max-width:100%, and allow cell text to wrap so long strings do not push layout wider than the page.
  • If you must keep wide tables, consider converting them to a print-friendly layout or breaking columns for print.

Example print rules to try (place in a print stylesheet or inside an @media print block):

@page { size: auto; margin: 10mm; }

@media print {
  html, body { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
  .no-print, nav, .sidebar { display: none !important; }
  table { width: auto !important; max-width: 100% !important; table-layout: auto !important; }
  img, iframe { max-width: 100% !important; height: auto !important; }
  td, th { overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word; white-space: normal !important; }
}

Note: @page and some print CSS behave differently across browsers; always check Print Preview. See MDN for print media rules and the W3C page spec for details: @media on MDN and CSS2 @page (W3C).

you can see/or print jsp page in your browser :P

jsp is a script that output html code.

You want a solution in your code....and you don't post the code ?

This is a problem with a browser setting, not the code.
