This basic page prints very badly. 
http://clio.mit.csu.edu.au/subjects/mkt525/Weeks/weekfive.html
Apart from the header and footer, it prints nearly entirely blank pages. 
My printer is an HP LaserJet 4050.
However, I get exactly the same bad output when making a PDF with Acrobat.
(I will attach the PDF file)

to do this)

I just tried printing this and the only problem I see is that the
first page does not print out. Remaining 10 pages print out fine.

I used 3/18 build of netscape on win 98 system.

 The stuff that breaks the printing in the given URL is the height of the table 
which is set to 600 "<table BORDER=0 WIDTH=780 HEIGHT=600>". If I remove the 
height attribute then it prints correctly. 
This is invalid bug since the "table" element cannot have "height" attribute
according to www.W3C.com. For detailed Information please refer to 
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/tables.html#edef-TABLE.

In quirks mode, a table can have height=, and there are a lot of pages that do 
this. The url will show no/little data loss with the patch in bug 123983, but 
the skipping of the 1st page is another issue.

The dataloss problem is fixed by the patch in bug 123983. The blank first page
is probably a dup of another bug; if not, can someone please file a new bug.
Please leave this bug closed unless there is dataloss (and I've missed it).
