Online Help Print Button produce blank page first
In our online help we have a standard Print button in the toolbar. When it is clicked it should produce a PDF of the current topic, but in this project it produces a blank page and then the topic. What is really strange is that in a clone of the project (or at least it should be) it prints without the blank page. I can't seem to find where the error is occurring. Any ideas?

I identified the problem. The stylesheet is for web and print.
In the @media print section, h1 is set as page-break-before: always;
I add @media pdf, h1 page-break-before: avoid; and it didn't work. Any ideas how to get it to work? But then again, I don't want it to work that way for PDF Targets I want to have h1 topics start on a new page.
Is there a work around for printing for Online Outputs?
Sorry for posting in the wrong forum, this should be in the Stylesheet forum, but I don't see a way to move it or delete it.

The print medium is used by the browser when printing a web page (either to a printer to to some other output such as a pdf), as you have seen. You can't change the medium that the browser uses for this purpose.
Assuming you have specifically set up your print medium to suit your PDF Target, I would duplicate it, call it pdf and use that for the PDF target instead. Then change the print medium to suit how you want web pages to print.
