Could this be reopened by somebody with required access? This bug has regressed even more in version
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20051110 Firefox/1.6a1

I'm not sure if the test case is correct but the print preview sure seems weird. I only get one page in print preview with boxes 1 2 and 3 followed by box 10 which is partially overlapping the bottom of the page followed by nothing.
