    okay, i've been searching like crazy for some html print-friendly tips & tricks...i used the advice from ala and such but one problem still prevails:

    how to prevent images from being cut off / split between pages

    i've tried using break-before and break-after in my css but it doesn't seem to have any effect (on images)...is this something that can only be controlled by setting margins on individual computers? does this only affect floated images?

    any info would be much appreciated

    it is my experience with print stylesheets, that they are going to depend heavily on browsers and printers.
    There are so many different printers that you cant really guarantee anything.
    Also, Mozilla has a known bug involving printing a page with multiple floats. So make sure that you have tested that.
    you never know what the margin are going to be set at. or if they are going to print on letter, legal, A4, or whatever.
    Just figure out what printer setings your client has, and optimize it for that.
