When trying to print or print-previewing www.tweakers.net (which is displayed
perfectly correct during normal browsing) it fails to generate multiple pages
for the page and tries to put in on a single page. This doesn't work offcourse
and the pages gets truncated at the and of the paper (actually printed to test
on my Brother HL820).

I tested it on my P4 desktop an Centrino laptop on both using IE6 and mozilla,
IE6 does it correct and prints multiple pages, mozilla doesn't.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open http://www.tweakers.net
2. Click "File>Print Preview" to see the bad Preview render
3. Print to see it actually print the bad page it just displayed

Actual Results:  
It tries to put everything on one page and truncates everything on the border of
the paper (thus outside the margins).

Expected Results:  
obvious: use multiple pages and chop the web-site in pieces

I think it's due to the nature of page, being completly JS generated multiple
layer complicated CSS.

I actually found some more bugs during which i'll maybe take a closer look at
(hint: try printing (not print previewing) the page while one of the
'Frontpage', 'Nieuws', 'Aankondingen', 'meuktracker' or even other drop-down
menu is still dropped down (which shouldn't be possibily dropped down during
printing in the first place...) it will display a large white squar in the
middle of the page as a background for the drop-down menu)

Attachment: incorrect print previewing: failed to generate multiple pages

I made a screen shot of it.
The page is in Landscape instead of portrait, but that doesn't matter since
it's displayed and printed wrong anyway.
