Having Fit to Page turned on in the printer dialog turned on does not fix the
problem with the text being cut off on the right hand side. (mozilla headers &
footers are unaffected as noted by other reports)

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=15492839
or for that matter any single result from www.pubmed.org (which is used by many
scientists) cuts off the right hand side of the text.
Also One of the scientists tells me that right edge text gets cut off on pubmed
html based emails.

Even if i do a page set up and change it from Any printer to be the printer that
i am printing to (which i verified it had the correct set up) it still occurs.
In mozilla 1.8a4 the abstract title ends in "recepto in co" with no page set up.
However after the page set up is done it ends in "recptor in colo" and the
vertical bar in the n. So page set up is changing things.

I can work around the issue by doing a print at 80% in the page set up.

Also note that geko engined Camino 2004082512 (v0.8.1) manages to do the job
right. My guess would be the way it interacts with the printer drivers on the
mac is different. You might want to talk to the Camino printer driver developers
to see what they are doing differently and potentially get it fixed.

Testing of this was done on a macintosh using both Mac os X 10.3.5 or 10.3.6

Products affected the latest build of Mozilla 1.8a5

PRODUCT NOT Affected

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=15492839
2. Print the page with or without doing a page set up.
3.look at the printed results.

Actual Results:  
On my computer without page set up.
title of abstract line ends in "col" although the l is half cut off.
same the actual abstract and the send to buttons.

After a page set up it is still cut off. but differently.
Snd to is fully on the page.
the title ends in "colon" where the n is just it's vertical bar
the institute line ends in pra and cuts out 6 anc czech completely

The abstract cuts out even more.  first line ending in cell-cel insteade of
cell-cell adhesion. In ... like it should


Expected Results:  
No clipping when printing especially when a page set up command has been issues.

This is a cross posting of my comments for
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84223 as it affects Firefox as well.

The code is shared, no need for a separate bug.
