How to avoid abrupt page break when printing a html table

4

I'm developing an html page, to be printed later.

But when printing I noticed that the breaking of pages in the middle of tables, are getting strange and abrupt, as you can see in the following image:

I'vetried this and this , and I did not succeed.

My html and test css is this (unfortunately you can not see the behavior shown in the print print here in the code snippet):

@media screen {
  h1 {
    color: red;
  }
}
@media print {
  h1 {
    color: blue;
  }
  h1.page-break {
    page-break-before: always;
  }
  tr {
    page-break-before: always;
  }
}
<h1>Page 1</h1>
<table border="1">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Column 1</th>
      <th>Column 2</th>
      <th>Column 3</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>Data 1</td>
      <td>Data 2</td>
      <td>Data 3</td>
    </tr>

You can use styles to prevent this behavior:

<style type="text/css">
    table { page-break-inside:auto }
    tr    { page-break-inside:avoid; page-break-after:auto }
    thead { display:table-header-group }
    tfoot { display:table-footer-group }
</style>

See if that solves your case, I'm not sure, put it in your CSS style sheet:

@media print {
    table { 
        page-break-after: always; 
    }
}

or:

@media print {
    table { 
          page-break-inside:avoid; 
    }
}
