Can confirm this for 1.2.1 / w2k and
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210
and arbitrarily choosen pages.

Happens not only on selecting a subset of pages but also with choosing landscape
format. Seems like, Mozilla takes the last values from the printer drivers
properties, even though the printer driver resets them.

Have also tried this with different printer driver (some hp ps/pcl, adobe
acrobat pdfwriter).

CONFIRMING.

I have encountered this phenomenon on 2 different computers, with every version
of App Suite, Phoenix, and Firebird I have ever used.

Recent examples of releases exhibiting this behavior include:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030519 Mozilla
Firebird/0.6

Mozilla 1.3.1
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:1.3.1) Gecko/20030425

And it is not only "1-#x".  It applies to any number of selected pages other
than All pages.  If I print only pages 2 and 3, then that's all I will see on
the next preview.  If I print only page 2, ditto.  If the next web page I
preview would print to only one paper page, then preview shows nothing.
