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.
