242379 - Artifacts Printed When a Page Breaks Just After a GIF Image

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040316

When viewing a long page (57 printed pages), everything looks OK, like

(a GIF image)
Figure 9.

When printing, I see

(a GIF image)
27 of 57
-------------- ( a page break; yes, the page should break here)
(a GIF image compressed vertically about 4 times)
Figure 9.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. View http://www.namesys.com/v4/v4.html - if it changes, I have an original
2. Print it on a letter-sized page (HP Laserjet IIID)
3.

Actual Results:  
When a page breaks between a GIF image and an immediately following text, the
GIF prints correctly, but the next page contains an image artifact before the text. 

Expected Results:  
No artifact should be printed. 

Sometimes an artifact prints at the bottom of the first page, followed by a good
GIF on the next page - see Figure 7 in the above document.
