http://www.thompsons.law.co.uk/ltext/l0550005.htm seems to exhibit the same
behaviour. Printing goes on to page two with the page header information but
then stops.

I would like to nominate this as a blocker. I have twice been unable to print
receipts for internet purchases because of this. For one of the receipts, I did
not get e-mailed a copy, so this is the only receipt I would have had. Because
of this, I would almost class it as a data loss bug. It also means I cannot use
Ff for any internet purchases as I do not know until the end of the purchase
transaction if I will be able to get a receipt or not.

a reduced testcase is needed here to confirm this bug

There is not much I can do to reduce the test case below clicking on the link in
additional comment 1, then either clicking print preview or print. You will see
that only some of the page is prieviewed or printed.

Go to 

http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=295896

and Print Preview (in Portrait mode).

All pages are produced and printed here. However, 

On page 1: Text overflows from the main box to the boxes on the right.

Scroll to page 4: the posting by 'chob' is way off to the right.

This by itself shows that Firefox cannot pretend to be on top of the printing issue.

I also cofirm comment #1 - Print Preview considers that there is only 1 page in
the document, actually slicing a line in two.

Your reported Firefox version(s) are too old a build to analyze bugs against now. The problem you are reporting may well have been fixed already.

Could you please download a recent version or nightly build from <http://www.mozilla.org/releases/nightly.html>, and then let us know if you still see this problem?

Many thanks, Cigno
