Print preview does not show all that should be printed.
Print preview does show what actually IS printed, but not all of what should be
printed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Log into web site www.theaa.co.uk (A motoring organisation in the UK)
2.In the left hand side of the screen under 'Route Planner', in the 'From'
textfield, type 'Hitchin'. (The town in England where my journey starts).
3. In the 'To' textfield, type 'Skegness'. (The town in England where I want to
drive to.
4. Press the 'Next' button.
5. Press the 'Confirm Locations' button.
6. Press the 'Get my Route' button. You then get the directions from Hitchin
to Skegness.
7. Open the 'File' menu and select the 'Print Preview' menu item.


Actual Results:  
The 'Print Preview' menu item displays 4 pages.
The first one is blank. (Why is that?)
The second one correctly shows the first lot of directions.
The third page shows the second lot of directions but they are displayed so
far left on the page that the left hand side of the text does not appear.  The
third page is the last page of directions but these direction only take you as
far as Boston.  The directions from Boston to Skegness are missing.
The fourth page contains some other information.  Once again, the left hand
side of the text is missing.
 

Expected Results:  
The complete list of directions from Hitchin to Skegness should be shown as in 
step 6 of 'Steps to Reproduce'.  The text should be centered as it is on the
second page of the 'Print Preview'.


I was using the default theme when I got the problem.
I have tried other routes as well as the one from Hitchin to Skegness.  The
problem always ocurrs when there are more than two pages of directions to print.
I am sorry to say that I resorted to using IE to get my directions printed.  The
problem does not happen when IE is used.
