there are some mistakes in the CSS code like "width=100%", but that's not so
important. If "float:left" is removed, everything will be printed.

[Mr. Moose]

I see similar behavior on this page in both mozilla & firefox:

http://www.uimn.org/ui/direct.pdf

I don't know if it adds anything, but when you press the "print" button, you are
presented with a dialog box for the print options.  The page then appears in a
window within the printbox.

See also attached wlogon2 created by OpenOffice from a Microsoft original.  In
this case (FF v 1.0.4) the faulty print preview is replicated at the printer.

I see this as well using Fx 2.0.0.3 and I'm quite sure it has to do with the line:

 @page { size: 21cm 29.7cm; margin: 2cm }

Firefox doesn't yet support @page. Duping to that bug.
