Printing Paywalled Sites (tabs.ultimate-guitar.com)

I'm trying to find an extension that will allow me to print pages such as the one I've linked. When I attempt to do so, the page goes black and I'm prevented from snagging the content. I've also tried screenshot tools, including a few grab & print style extensions. I've messed around with the inspector console, tried disabling javascript, more or less all of the things you might futz with to circumvent this. No joy.

Does anyone have a solution or tool they use for this? I'd like to have this on paper so I don't have to stare at a screen when I'm playing. (I'm a shit jazz musician and need tab. I blame rock and roll.)

Cheers!

there are a bunch of style sheet and javascript set up to work in tandem with each other that i find rather upsetting. you can go in and force things to load completely rather than on scroll but you then need to make sure that the page allows for that to happen. and they didn't exactly name their json/javascript/css in any way to make things easy to find either, as they are all name dynamically on site load. i'd go with testing without hardware acceleration, and if that doesn't work then you'll have to find a way to disable very specific files from loading or neuter them so that they load the way you need them to.
