Columns are tricky.

Once I tried to convert a paper in ACM style into HTML [0]. It seems to work today. A few years ago, Chrome broke columns in printing mode.

What I still cannot do is the copyright notice, which for ACM style must be at the bottom of the first column (see example [1]). This would require something like absolute positioning relative to a printed page.

I didn't find a way to fix something at the bottom of each printed page with CSS either. Not sure if there's a solution today. I looked into it last in 2014.

And yes, Chrome had removed multi-column printing. It's supported again now. There's a bug report last updated in March 2016: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=99358
