Suggestion: Force images to print on next page when using Chrome

Reported by contaegi...@gmail.com, May 13 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/60.0.3088.4 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open the following webpage and choose to print: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-05-25/clean-energy-jobs-surpass-oil-drilling-for-first-time-in-u-s

What is the expected behavior?
It would be great to have one of the options in the printing window to force images to new page - because with some websites it seems to cut images in half when trying to print across pages.

Is this something that can be added in to Chrome?

Or if not, can anyone advise an extension that does this? I haven't had much luck finding one...

What went wrong?
N/A

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 60.0.3088.4  Channel: n/a
OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2)
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 26.0 r0

Eww, I've never used the Print function and seeing how it cuts images (since at least Chrome 31) makes me wonder if the feature was never intended to be developed beyond the most basic and primitive level...

Firefox and Edge correctly keep images in one piece.
Internet Explorer 11 cuts images just like Chrome.

Adding respective component for someone from the team to take a look at this and provide more inputs.

Status: Untriaged (was: Unconfirmed)
I can reproduce the issue on Stable (58.0.3029.110) and Canary (60.0.3102.0).

+Blink>Layout to see if this is feasible from a layout perspective. Definitely seems to be more of an issue on certain webpages like the one linked.

If this is feasible, we can then evaluate whether we would want to always force images onto the next page or add another control to the Print Preview UI as suggested in the original post.

IMO it doesn't make sense for images to be cut off unless there is absolutely no way to fit it on a page. In cases where there is room on the next page, it should do that.

It's up to Blink to render images without cutting them off.

It would certainly be possible but it is not currently on the roadmap. Web pages can opt to provide a print media style sheet specifying the desired fragmentation behavior.
