Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

I'm using xp pro, and a hp deskjet 960c on amd 1700+. (I'm assuming) Firefox
doesn't properly send the data to my printer right. And for example if the page
to  be printed is 5 pages, it will be 9 or so pages with page breaks and blank
pages. This only happens when I print the selection.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a plain text website like
http://colossus.chem.umass.edu/chandler/ch111/1e4f01.htm
2. Highlight the a certain amount of text
3. go file-> print, click properties-> check black and white and draft hit ok
4. check selection box and hit print
Actual Results:  
the selected area printed out with one or two lines on a page, and there were
page breaks everywhere

Expected Results:  
print it out like it was formatted on the screen.

I tried doing the same thing as well in ie and it printed out fine.

File Handling is only for saving files not for the file menu.
