I tried it a few times and couldn't proceed as the description says. First, I 
had to select either trade-in or private-party. Then when I finally got to the 
form and submitted it, it said:

 We were unable to complete the processing of your request because:

Please click the "Back" button and re-submit the form with the missing or 
corrected information.

It was trying to tell me that I had forgotten to fill in something, but it 
didn't mention what it was, and I really did fill everything in. 

Any suggestions?

I was able to get the form after more attempts and changing the vehicle. The 
form has at least one floater in it which may explain why the print layout is so 
bad.

maybe:

html.css
...
@media print {
  /* undo floats on aligned tables since we cannot print them correctly: see bug
74738 and bug 85768 */
  table[align="left"] {
    float: none;
  }

  table[align="right"] {
    float: none;
  }
...

Alex, we can't just remove that, because it will break other things. We need to 
fix floaters "once and for all" to print correctly. Over to you.

Taking the bug back, since I am going to look at the problem of 
printing/splitting floaters. This surely won't make the m1.0 branch.

Marking nsbeta1-. This will require a large change.

Comment 14

[karnaze (gone)]

bug 145305 probably fixed this.

nsbeta1+. For next release.
