Same problem here with FF 90.
A ticket printer (paper 58mm, printing area 48mm) do not show de right side of ticket, but show properly images.

Change scale or adjust to printing area chage size, but still don't print de right side.

In FF 89 work fine. Broken after update.

Why does this major bug of Firefox 90.x not get high priority?

I was happily using scaled printing with Firefox all the time, but Version 90 has made that impossible - nearly all printouts of multiple web pages are truncated (see the attached PDF examples from pvinsights.com with Firefox 89 and Firefox 90 - scaling: 57%) . Some pages can't even be printed with 100% scaling without cutting text off, such as this one: https://www.diescheune.de/veranstaltungen

This bug makes Firefox almost useless for me. If it doesn't get fixed quickly, I have to think about alternatives.

It did get high priority.

Print preview shows/prints correctly on any other webpage than web-print from www.americanthinker.com, which when printing shows large right and bottom margin, missing some right edge/bottom text.

Hey all, the patch for this bug is in today's "Nightly" build (alpha test version of Firefox 92) and is working there.

The next step is to add it to the beta test release of Firefox 91, which hopefully will occur this week. That also is available as the Developer Edition if you want to install 91 alongside the regular release without messing up your profile.

Whether the patch actually lands in a 90.0.2 update is hard to predict. You can keep an eye on bug 1720621 (no more examples or discussion needed).

This should now be fixed in beta (91.0b5) and will be in 90.0.2 soon.
