The first time I was using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021119 Phoenix/0.4 Go to the following page: http://www.wrhs.org/media/starwars.htm From the File menu, select Print Preview. Select either "shrink to fit" or 100 percent. Where did that crazy page break come from? Now select 90 percent, and the whole web page will fit nicely on 2 printed pages.

I was able to duplicate this bug as described under Win98/Build 2003070308 (except I had to scale down to 80% instead of 90% to get it to fit on two pages). This page print-previews fine in IE6/NC4.8. The crux of the matter seems to be: <td valign="top" width="60" height="688"> near the bottom of the page, if the 'height="688"' is removed, then print preview looks fine (i.e. it fits on two pages with the default "Shrink to Fit" selected and no page break).

I don't really know if its the same bug, but on my page I also have a severe bug on my page which is about page breaks at wrong places. Try looking at http://www.at-haunis.de/guestbook.php?special=nocount or http://www.at-haunis.de/events.php?special=nocount and try do do print preview. It inserts a page break between the header (<h1>) and the table. It seems somehow to be related to the font-size I define for the header in the style sheet. Sometimes the page break disappears when I insert a <h2> header in between. It seems to be also related to some layout parameters of the table. Tested with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-AT; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312 and other versions. Btw. I was not able to reproduce that bug with that starwars page, maybe because it fits on one page with my font settings.

I don't see extra page breaks with Rupert's URLs from comment 4. (but background doesn't show in preview)
