At a guess ... it has been mentioned before that in full-screen mode Opera
behaves CSS-wise as if it were projecting. Perhaps the behaviour you see
is connected to this - in full screen mode there is no vertical scroll bar
and what doesn't fit on the screen is lost - it would seem the same is
true when printing from full screen mode. I would suggest printing from a
maximised window rather than full-screen

Of course I may be barking up the wrong tree.
