I recently went into the cake IRC channel for help because the default output of cake bake views does not print properly. I was hoping this was a common problem because I would only assume there are others like me who are using this as a base for in house datawarehouse software. The people in the IRC kindly told me that the CSS had nothing to do with them and I should seek help elsewhere.
I fixed the problem by making a media=screen stylesheet that reset everything to browser defaults, and hides the header and footer divs. I then needed to rewrite my tabular data from a <dl> to a table. <DL> lists do not print nicely from printers and I couldn't quite find the right css to make them print nicely. So my request is the following: Please consider the ability to print content as a factor when developing the default output of cake console as well as the structure of the templates as well. (For an example, firefox has documented bugs concerning printing under certain situations of div usage). I make this request because I feel printing is an integral part of any information based web application, and I found myself a bit 'stunned' at the reluctance of the IRC users to help or share experiences. I can only assume that these people have never been in a situation where they needed reports to be printed from cake php. Regardless my problem is fixed, but I feel as though this should be addressed so it can hopefully be taken into consideration in the next version.
