In the example given the whole content of the page in contained within an absolutely positioned div. Only the first page will print out. This only happens with absolute elements that do not fit within a printable area. Another website that demonstrates this phenomenon is http://www.traininglinkonline.co.uk/structure.html This problem is reproducible in the most recent builds of Mozilla and Firefox. Even very simple pages suffer from this problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Access the webpage(s) given as examples. 2. Click on "file" and "print preview" Actual Results: Only the first page is shown / will print Expected Results: The entire contents of the webpage should print. An automatic page break should occur when the bottom of the printable area is reached I was unable to check for a duplicate entry of this bug because my query (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevance+desc&bug_status=__open__&product=&content=print+absolute) was never successfully completed. If this bug has already been reported I would like to apologise in advance.
