If you open this page in a web browser and do a print preview, you get a 300
page preview. A little bit of the banner is at the top of the first page, most
of the next 296 pages are blank. The last 3 pages have the rest web page in
reasonable format.
If you actually print this page, you will get the 300 page output like the
preview indicates.
I am printing this using a HP4L laserjet printer. This is NOT a postscript
printer, and it is attached to a different computer on my home network.
I also tried printing this page at work using the same version of FireFox on
some big HP laser printers, and I got the same 300 page output.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4431601 in FireFox
2. Select File -> Print Preview
Actual Results:
The print preview or the actual print out if you print it is 300 pages long. The
banner from the web site appears somewhat distorted at the top of the first page.
After this most of the pages are blank except for a few lines at the top of each
page. The rest of the web page is on the last 2 or 3 pages of the print preview.
Expected Results:
The print preview or print out should have been about 3 pages long.
IE 6.0 does print this web site correctly.
This has already been fixed in nightly builds, it now shows 4 pages in print
preview (not that there aren't a lot of other bugs in the printing system that
also affect this page).
