Frames print individually, one per page, rather than as a composite.  MS
Explorer is much better in this respect in that the printed image corresponds to
the image on the monitor. 

I checked to see if there was a print option to permit frames to print
seaparately, which could be handy for developers on occasion (but on demand),
and not finding anything at least where I might expect it, assume there is none?
 If such an option does exist, I submit that the default position should be to
print the composite and not frames individually.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.display the page
2.print the page
3.look at the printout

Actual Results:  separate frames

Expected Results:  frames together

David,

two things:

1) that page above is not a frame page. it is a page with a long table
thats not printing out the content together. That is a different bug.

2) We do have frame options for printing. Click on Print button
and look under Print Frame section. you should see 3 options
     - As Laid out on the screen
     - Selected Frame
     -  Each frame individually.

These options are available to you only if the page you are trying to
print is a frame page...So the page you have won't bring these options
into play. You can try them out by going to a frame site, for example
http://www.news.com and hit print, then you will see the options.

so I'm gonna change the summary of your bug to table with content
not printing together

Chris/Amar, this could be a  dUP of bug 66804

Sujay, you are right. The given URL does not contain Frames. The table in the 
page is causing the printing problem.. Might be dupe of Bug # 66804

I don't see a problem when printing the url. Amar, can you confirm.

Comment 5

[sujay]

Chris, I just tried this again on the 10/17 branc build on Win 98
and I still see the problem.

The problem is that the content in the middle of the page(on the screen)
is printed out on the 2nd page. It should be printed out on the first
page. Output should match what screen looks like.

Amar has also confirmed that he sees the problem on his NT box. He will
make a comment here also.

Changing to NEW because we definitely see the problem.

Chris, I see the problem too. when I print the given URL, the table which 
contains the article content and the Image is printed on a different physical 
paper.

amar, can you develop a reduced test case? I looked at the html for a large 
height on an <img> in case it is a dup of bug 105166, but it's not obvious if it 
is a dup.

 Chris,
 When I save the source of the given URL on my local machine and tried to print, 
it prints fine( The content article in the middle of the page prints in the 
first physical paper)..

Comment 9

[Amarendra Hanumanula]

 But I forgot to mention that the banner Which says " prices & reviews" does not 
appear when I save the page locally. It does not even print it physically

Comment 10

[sujay]

looks like fix for bug 105166 also fixed this bug.

David, this will be fixed in trunk builds after 11/1

verified that this page is now printing content together
w/o any large gaps.
