presenter notes cut off in print-out

I have been having this problem for a number of years now. I am a teacher and use keynote to make my slide presentations. I include presenter notes on the slides and then print out slides and notes as a hand-out (portrait mode, 5 slides per page). The presentations are somewhat long: over 100 slides each time. Invariably around 8-10 of the slides are printed out with only part of the presenter notes. This is really annoying as I need to go over the presentations by hand and write out the missing words. Sometimes, the print-out leaves out entire paragraphs and I have to cut and paste the text into a Word document, print that out, and then cut the paragraphs with scissors and tape them into my print-out. I brought this to the attention of Apple's iWork team in December 2022 and even sent them one of my presentations so that they could have a test case to work with in debugging this but the problem persists. When I contacted them again on September 1, 2023 to follow up, I was told that they "won’t be able to provide any information about future updates or fixes." I find it really problematic that this issue has not been resolved after almost two years. It's crazy that in 2024 I have to use scissors and tape to restore missing words to a print-out. Has anyone else had this issue or found a work-around? Thanks!
