Looks like it uses headless chrome for HTML to PDF conversion so its not going to support advanced print CSS like Prince. Real issue is Prince is the only browser that supports full print CSS, none of the major browsers seem to care about better print output anymore.

I used to use Prince in a few print-heavy applications. Eventually I moved to a LaTeX based workflow instead (we needed some features that Prince couldn't be expected to deliver). But Prince was a real pleasure to work with, and the output quality was very good. If LaTeX weren't a viable option in my project then I would use it again. Interesting random factoid: Prince is (was?) written in a language called Mercury [1], which is kind of a statically typed Prolog. Research into Prince turned me on to state-of-the-art logic programming, so I'm thankful for that as well. :) [1] http://www.mercurylang.org/ http://www.mercurylang.org/
