Hacker theme does not print well

[bovlb]

I use hacker for my website, but I found it doesn't print well. This is important to me, as my website is intended to double as handouts. Here are a few suggested changes for style.css.

text-shadow properties seem to make my printing (from Google Chrome) take a long time to preview, and make my printer fail the job. Wrapping some of these in @media screen { ... } I resolved the problem.

For me, the screen text is perfect, but the printed text comes out a little too large. This is pretty clumsy, but I'm happy with

@media print
{
    * { font-size: 90%; }
}

The dark mode works great on screen, but for print the text comes out a little light without the background.

I found that code samples were being truncated (at less than 80 columns) which makes them a bit useless, so I added:

pre {
    white-space: pre-wrap;
    break-inside: avoid;
    border: thin solid #666666;
}
