FILE PRINT and it hangs at formatting page for printing.  Consistent across both
my computers.  Can be killed by clicking X in the "formatting page for printing"

lists and no cookies lists.

3.FILE PRINT (do NOT use the "printer friendly" NYTimes option -- try to print
the original editorial page

Actual Results:  
"formatting page for printing" appears....  program hangs... 100% CPU usage...
program not responding warning... stays there for over a minute (I kill it after
that)... repeatable

Expected Results:  
print the page...

Happens for me, too, with this page on Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_evolution

It is reproducable for me and happens every time. I cannot print this page using
Firefox nor Mozilla

Printing hangs with my Firefox (on Linux) on *every* page I tried so far since version 1.5. The page prints, but Firefox has to be killed afterwards.
