I don't have anything to offer as to why this may be happening. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Go to the web site http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4516529/ 2.Print preview, or just hit print if you want to waste 300 sheets 3. Actual Results: 295 sheets, most of which are mostly blank except for a 2 inch long one pixel high horizontal line in the top left that is sporadically dotted and dashed. Eventually words start to appear, and a single image from the page might appear here and there on a page. The last few sheets contain the bulk of the article. Expected Results: A printed page that is at least a reasonable representation of the page as it is viewed in the browser. 6 or 7 pages of printed output rather than 295. The printer is an HP 4100, using HP's latest driver for Windows XP.
Bug 212984 has the same problem with the same site so I'm going to dupe against that bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 212984 ***
