User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020529
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020529
When an HTML document contains more text than will fit on one printed page
Mozilla will only print the first page. The post script print driver for Linux
will only attempt to print enough text to fit on one page. Any other text within
the document will be ignored when printing.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create an HTML document with over 100 lines of text using the default font
within the Mozilla composer.
2.Load the HTML document into the browser.
3.Attempt to print the HTML Document.
Actual Results:
Only the first 66 lines of text actually gets printed.
Expected Results:
Mozilla should print the entire document even if it requires multiple sheets of
paper.

Works for me, linux nightly 2002111904.
Scott, according to your build identifier, you're using a copy of mozilla that's
almost six months old. Please upgrade to a current copy of mozilla and see if
you can reproduce this. Assuming you can, could you indicate the following:
1) Does the problem affect actual printouts only, or can it be reproduced in
print preview (File->Print Preview)?
2) Can it be reproduced on any long page, or just certain URLs? What URLs?

Here is a document that will demonstrate the problem. The code came from a job
search application at the University of Texas. The text was changed to protect
the guilty. I am guessing that the problem is the large amount of text placed
inside "PRE" tags.

I went back and retrieved the latest code from the CVS server yesterday
(November 19,2002). I compiled the code from scratch. I did not realize how old
the version that I had been using really was. After building a new copy of
Mozilla from the new source I had my wife try the web site where the problem had
originally shown up. We still got the same results. I have uploaded an
attachment that contains the original code from that site. The html may just be
invalid. If so go ahead and cancel this bug and don't worry about it. I hope
that I have not sent anyone on a wild goose chase with this. Thanks for your
time and patience.
