Also, do you have an URL which shows this behaviour? Thank you.

I don't think thank this bug is the same as BUG98274. It doesn't depend on 
header/footer. This behavior is the same for all versions of mozilla I used 
(0.9.3, 0.9.6) and for MS IE 5.5 SP1, IE 5.5 SP2 and IE6.0. It's very pity.

Confirming on 0.9.7, Build ID: 2002011803, Windows 98.
 
Actual Behavior: Go to "content of iframe" attachment. Open Print Preview. The
iframe only partially appears on page 1. There is no page 2.

Expected Behavior: When the iframe doesn't fit on one page, it should be printed
on a second page. Or third page, or fourth page.

Old Summary: iframe printing 

New Summary: iframe printing broken when iframe height more than page height

This is a core layout issue, layout needs to be able to break Iframes up

Attachment: screenshot of an iframe on two pages of print preview

Works for me; according to comment 6 I shouldn't have gotten more than one page

in print preview (see attachment).

Attachment: container for iframe - should print to ~3 pages

never mind comment 8 and attachment 72361 [details] (please obsolete/trash the
attachment)
they are based upon incorrect assumptions made in comment 6.

confirming on 0.9.9 nightly build 2002030309 w/ Win2k.

correction to reproduction directions in comment 6:

  Actual Behavior: Go to the "container for iframe - should print to ~3 pages"
    attachment (link at top of this comment). Open Print Preview. The iframe 
    only partially appears on page 1. There is no page 2.
  Expected Behavior: When the iframe doesn't fit on one page, it should be 
    printed on additional pages, similar to opening up attachment 60145 [details] and 
    opening Print Preview.

this seems like paartially a core layout problem, that the iframe should be
broken up into smaller frames.

Comment 11

[karnaze (gone)]

-> HTML Frames. This involves a lot more than core layout. I'll be glad to help
when the iframe issues are resolved.

[Paul Schwartz]

Seeing same problem with Mozilla 1.4 [20030624] on OS/2 Warp 4.52. Can supply
samples if needed.

Only happens when trying to print as seen on screen.  Printing individual frames
prints all pages.

Daniel, do you know if the underlying iframe issues are fixed meanwhile? It would be nice to drive this bug a bit forward.

Also happens with Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1pre) Gecko/2008062704 GranParadiso/3.0.1pre ID:2008062704

It looks like "actual behavior" has changed -- now the "container for iframe" testcase appears in a small frame, with scrollbars.  That's also basically the same way it prints (minus the scrollbars), which IMHO is correct.

For iframes in which the iframe element itself is really tall (which it sounds like this testcase used to look like), I'd agree that we'd ideally like to split the iframe across multiple pages.

I think we need a new testcase that displays the issue in Firefox 3.

Attachment: testcase

>I think we need a new testcase that displays the issue in Firefox 3.

Here we go.  I'm obsoleting old testcase (and a screenshot, per comment 9), and attaching a new testcase with an iframe that's styled to be 14in tall (taller than a printed page).

You can examine behavior in print-preview.
 Actual behavior:           iframe gets clipped at the end of the first page.
 Expected (ideal) behavior: iframe continues on 2nd page.

i did a search for firefox printing problem and the symptoms explained above match my situation.  i am trying to print the website below for my girlfriend' mom but it is not working.  only page 1 prints, page 2 prints but it is blank.  internet explorer prints all four pages properly.  She is using firefox 3.6 on my recommendation, so I feel responsible for firefox's failure to do something as simple as print out a page of text.  trying to make things simple as she is not interested in wasting time fooling around with this stuff, she just wants it to work.  any assistance is appreciated.
