Page formatted printing of a table from a browser has always been a
problem. I struggled with this early last decade. I do not know if printing
support has gotten better in HTML over time.

The way I was able to handle this:
a) ensure that the contents fit well within a page and give page breaks
b) ensure no cell is blank but has atleast one space if it has to be blank.
Prevents cell collapsing.

I'd recommend you give a print button in the screen and do a PDF generation
on the backend which supports the HTML tags properly for printing.
