I try to print page

http://www.socg05.org/

It is perfectly fit in the preview windows. Though it is splitted into 4 pages
instead when I really print it on a printer. 
I am running 1.0.2 on WindowsXP

I have a similar experience:

In print preview, the first page has banners, the content is on the second page,
but physical printing is correct.

1. Go to http://weblogs.java.net/blog/inder/archive/2004/06/soa_a_look_from.html
2. Try print preview, you'll see 4 pages
3. Print, you'll get 3 pages

Something similar occured to me on the page
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Fourier-BesselSeries.html
Print preview shows 2 pages, but the printer prints only one (as it should be).

I'm using:

But seems that fix is not Ok, or I have a different problem. Please, take a look
