Welcome to gnucash !

This problem is not something that can be fixed with a proper stylesheet.

The print issue is a bug in the software (reported here [1]). To be more precise it is a bug in 
webkit, which is an external code library gnucash depends on. So far we haven't managed 
to work around this unfortunately.
