Most of this page doesn't print or show up in print preview.  You get two pages
of output, which is about the right amount, but you only see the line or so at
the top of the page; the rest of the two pages come out blank.  The pages look
fine in the browser.  The page has a lot of crazy javascript, but there should
simply be no way for any site to induce this behavior.  Anyway, turning off
javascript has no effect.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. View the url
2. Try to print it, or use print preview
3.

Actual Results:  
Most of the output or preview is blank

Expected Results:  
preview and print the page properly

When I do a print preview on that page, I get constantly a crash. 
Using:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041012
Firefox/0.9.1+
Talkback doesn't come up with this.

With my debug build, I get the following assertions before crashing in print
preview:
###!!! ASSERTION: aContent1 must not be null: 'aContent1', file c:/mozilla/mozil
la/layout/base/src/nsLayoutUtils.cpp, line 242
###!!! ASSERTION: aContent2 must not be null: 'aContent2', file c:/mozilla/mozil
la/layout/base/src/nsLayoutUtils.cpp, line 243
###!!! ASSERTION: data loss - incomplete row needed more height than available,
on top of page: 'rowMetrics.height <= rowReflowState.availableHeight', file c:/m
ozilla/mozilla/layout/html/table/src/nsTableRowGroupFrame.cpp, line 1030

Attachment: Testcase

Not minimal, but without any external content at least.

That testcase crashes for me consistently in print preview.

Tested in Preview only:
Yesterdays nightly was crashing on the URL, not on the testcase, without
talkback coming up. Talkback was working, as tested elsewhere.
1.8a1 wasn´t crashing, but text and links were overlapping somewhere, didn´t
look fine in Preview.

Hmm, well, I doesn't crash for me now also with at least the 2004-10-17 build.
