User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20050918 Firefox/1.6a1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20050918 Firefox/1.6a1

The URL noted cannot be printed, saved as a PostScript file, or even viewed in
the print preview correctly.  The first two pages are rendered, the third page
is silently lost.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit the URL, go to the bottom of the document, see the content
2. Select "Print Preview"
3. Note that the preview does not show the whole document

Actual Results:  
The first two pages, up to partway through "question 8" were displayed on the
screen, no further content was indicated or displayed.

Expected Results:  
The entire content should have been rendered for printing.
WFM with Mozilla 1.8b2/20050428 but reproducible with Mozilla 1.8b2/20050429.
I can reproduce a similar problem. I'm trying to print the Blender3D: Noob to Pro-Beginner Tutorial.

Direct link here:
http://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro_-_Beginner_Tutorials/Print_version&printable=yes

I can only print around 36 pages. In the print preview I have the same result.
Scaling the print causes the number of pages to change but the result is the same. The tutorial actually has a total of 157 A4 pages.

I'm using firefox-2.0.0.4 on Gentoo x86. The same problem was confirmed on Debian amd64 with firefox-2.0.0.4 (iceweasel).
The almost similar bug is reproduced on 2nd versions of the Mozilla Firefox builds.

Trying to print or preview

http://www.agilent.com/about/newsroom/presrel/2007/15nov-gp07030.html

The first page is printed and previewed, the last almost empty page is printed and previewed, all intermediate pages are ignored. The total page count is showed in preview dialog as 2 (really A4 page count is about 10 f.e. on IE).

Checked builds:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; ru; rv:1.8.1.10) Gecko/20071115 Firefox/2.0.0.10
Official release of Firefox 2.0.0.9 (win, ru) (sorry, but I've already installed 2.0.0.10 and can't reproduce detail information)

The last for today (16.11.2007) Firefox trunk nightly build (ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/firefox-3.0b2pre.en-US.win32.installer.exe) works FINE on the problem page. It seems that the 3rd version fixes the problem.
All of the pages work in Firefox 3 nightlies. These problems will be fixed when Firefox 3 is released.
