A print-preview in Firefox re-aligns the text incorrectly.
A print-preview in Iexplore prints out correctly each time.

Reproducible: Always

2.print-preview in Firefox
3.print preview in Iexplore

Actual Results:  
The text in the Firefox preview is not aligned as in Iexplore

Expected Results:  
It should have kept the alignment that Iexplore displayed

This happens to me on my.yahoo page.

Attaching screenshot of print preview.

I think this bug needs to be change to a major severity. Print preview is an
important function.

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.
