Load http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn2030.html In MacIE, the page has no horiz scrollbar and prints correctly. In mozilla, it's very very wide and prints over several horizontal pages.
This is INVALID. To explain. On this page there are some regions of preformatted text (<pre></pre>). The browser is not allowed to add line-breaks to regions of preformatted text, so these regions are as wide as their contents requires. In particular, under the heading "Hints and Tips", there is a region starting "(gdb) attach 795 [...". You will find that the whole page is as wide as this preformatted region which is excessively wide. So Mozilla is doing the "Right Thing" (according to the CSS box model), even though that is not actually very helpful. I suspect that some CSS like: BODY {width: 100%} PRE {width: 100%; overflow: scroll} added to the page would be a reasonable solution. I made that up off the top of my head so it may not actually work. Anyway, it is up to Apple.

so why does IE do the "wrong" thing, which is really the right thing? However we handle it is a nightmare for the user. Instead of INVALID, perhaps this should become and evagelism bug.

No, this is a bug. Mozilla is not respecting the carriage returns in the preformatted blocks. The offending sequence seems to be (endtag)(space)(carriage return). Oddly, (endtag)(space)(newline) works. Bug 103833 mentions a possibly related issue.
