Slicers not displaying when printing

One of our more paper-driven users has noticed that printing reports often misses slicer selections.

For example, if I filter a report with some horizontal slicers:

 

Once printed, the totals are still filtered as expected, but slicers all appear unselected:

 

Seems the same on IE and Chrome, anyone else found a way around this?

  • Hi ziqh,

    I can reproduce your scenario as follows.

    I filter a report in service  The selected values in slicer disappear when we print the page.

    Please print reports in Chrome browser with Background Graphics enabled as follows, I test the solution and it works fine on my side. 



    In addition, as what said in the article: Printing from Power BI service.

    "We cannot guarantee that the printed copy will be exactly the same as it appears in Power BI service. Things like scaling, margins, visual details, orientation, and size are not controlled by Power BI. For help with issues like this, refer to the documentation for your specific browser. "
