Hi,
I work on mozilla 1.7.5, in Belgium hospital, we push our users to use Mozilla
and not IE. Intranet and www are always depelopped for a full compatibility
between IE and Mozilla. But when i print a web page on a printer (A4 european
size) the tree last lines are missing. I seem that Mozilla try to print (us
letter page size and not A4 page size). I have change parameter but there is no
change. can you help me ?
So that we are obliged to use IE because the print is a legal document. Regards
from Belgium

Hello Pol,

tree last lines: you must mean three last lines or 3 last lines

Make sure you have these settings set to true in about:config
print.use_global_printsettings
print.save_print_settings
print.use_native_print_dialog
Try again if these settings were not set to true.

For now, your bug description might be a duplicate of bug 118563. See comments
88 and following ones.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118563#c95
says: "A4 papersize is used, also for the formatting (so there is no 3-cm
bottom margin on the printouts, as happens when you set your printer to 'use A4
when LETTER is requested', a non-solution IMHO).
However, when the page has a Javascript window.print call it still uses the
LETTER format for the page!"

Can you try with such settings set to true with the latest 1.7 branch Mozilla
application (rv: 1.7.6)
French rv 1.7.6 here:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/frenchmozilla/mozilla-win32-1.7.6-installer-fr-FR.exe?download
and with the latest 1.8b2 trunk:
