Printing doesn't work on most pages I've tried (but does work on a few). Trying to print <http://www.mozilla.org/js/language/js20/index.html> generates the "Saving" dialog that shows four pages being saved and then nothing at all happens. Trying to print <http://davespicks.com/writing/programming/mackeys.html> cuts off after the first page.
I am using Netscape 7.0b1 branch 20020512.

Confirming in Mozilla 1.0RC2. This is bad.

http://www.mozilla.org/js/language/js20/index.html - using today's trunk build, prints fine. http://davespicks.com/writing/programming/mackeys.html - confirm still happens on trunk Thing is, printing was reworked heavily on the trunk since the code from which 7.0b1 is built.
Chris, can you confirm this on your MACOSX box also...thanks...
I just reproduced both of the above problems on today's trunk build. MacOS 10.1.4, trunk build 2002051408. When printing the js20 page, the print progress dialog comes up but disappears after four pages and nothing at all gets printed. Same thing happens when I try to print to a PDF file.
Using todays OS X branch and trunk builds , I can only reproduce the problem described with http://davespicks.com/writing/programming/mackeys.html. I believe the problem is related to the pages' css file since removing it will allow all the content on page (8 printed pages) to print. Working on reduced testcase.
Test case contains multiple table conatin the the BODY. The BODY has been assigned float: left which is causing the printing problem. The original site used a DIV tag but using BODY reproduces the same problem.

After removing {float: left}, all of the page's content prints on 2 pages.
