Perhaps there is an HTML error causing this, but> If IE6 can display this (and other) pages properly then the USERS are going to believe that MOZILLA has a fault. The above is just a sample page. I have seen many others that do this and similar bad things when you try to print them using Mozilla. IE6 seems to always be able to print them OK. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.load the above webpage. 2.Print it. -or- Just do a page preview. 3. Actual Results: Only the header prints. The rest of the page is missing. Expected Results: Mozilla should properly print the page. If IE6 prints the page properly and Mozilla does not, then the user community will conclude that Mozilla is defective. This DESPITE the fact that this print error MAY be caused by some html error in the page.
I can both print and print preview the page and get all the content (though with some ugly overlaps) in a current trunk linux build.
The rest of the web page is printed on the _subsequent_ paper sheets (as shown in print preview). Don't know what causes the first page to stay mainly white, though... (Moz 1.4 on Win2k)
