Looks like a problem with the HP drivers

Just to add I'm pretty sure I didn't have these issues with Firefox 3.0-3.5.

Also add info to above:

Initially I hadn't installed any printer drivers however my Mac is sitting on a network with an HP LaserJet 3055 which OSX picked it up automatically.

I also have an HP Photosmart C3100 via USB and just installed the latest HP drivers both via HP & the Apple Software update.  I changed the printer from the LaserJet to the Photosmart printer - still get the same issue. 

Report here:

Also if I output to pdf wouldn't this be using a different software driver? As this is just built-in functionality on the mac.  This also causes the issue...
Pretty sure this is a dupe of Bug 461355. There are also two other bugs on file with the same stack:
