Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 243842

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[Richey]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

On many pages (not only the URL mentioned above), if you select an area of the
page and want to print just the selection (by using the related print option),
the Browser prints only 1 or 2 pages of this selection. After that, the
following pages are empty. This happened to me when printing to a printer or a
PDF file (by using Acrobat 5 Distiller and Acrobat 5 PDF writer). The same
actions on the same page worked fine in Internet Explorer.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. select just the article in the middle with your mouse
2. click "file"-"print"-"selection" (print to printer or PDF)
3. 



Actual Results:  
just 1 or 2 pages can be found in the printout or PDF.


Expected Results:  
Of the URL above, the printout or PDF should usually be AT LEAST 4 pages,
depending on printer and size

The URL is no longer valid.
Reporter, do you still see this problem?
Do you think it's the same as bug 243842?

URL http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/09/12/1063341758375.html still works
and fails as described - only prints 2 pages 

as described this is a probable dup of bug 243842
