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!

Thanks. You went down the same path I have in the past. I was hoping for a solution someone devised, but they did a good job.

I'm glad you understood my intent here. Screenshot work-arounds are fine, but they are not the best quality.

I'm also just picking nits at this point. I appreciate the effort. Maybe I can write something up in python that'll snag it.
