Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020903

I wanted to print the page being displayed in the browser. Print Preview looked
OK, but when printing the content was spread on multiple pages. Maybe a problem
with frames or tables...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the URL (Actually I was opening a saved version of the page)
2. Select Print Preview (The text appears right of the navigation tree)
3. Select Print from Print Preview

Actual Results:  
The first page only shows the navigation tree on the left, the next page shows
the top navigation ("termite hills"), and on the next page the main text appears.

Expected Results:  
Top navigation, left navigation and main text should be arranged on one page,
just as visible on screen.

If you want my saved version, just tell me. The printer being used was a HP
Laserjet 5M with duplex unit (if that matters).
