User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7

If I want to print out just the actual directions from MapQuest.com, (images &
text), FireFox sends to my printer (HP DeskJet 648C) the header and footer but
no images or text (blank middle).

This has also happened at work using a different printer (some form of laser
printer).  Will update on that printer's info Monday 3 Oct 2005.

If I print selected text from my email within Yahoo Mail, both plain text and
hyperlinks are printed correctly along with headers & footers.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get driving directions from MapQuest
2. Select the directions part only
3. Tell FireFox to print selection

Actual Results:  
header and footer output, no directions (images & text)

Expected Results:  
header, body (directions), and footer

This problem existed in previous versions as well.  Maybe all the way back to
1.0, but for sure in 1.0.5 and 1.0.6.

Works for me. Could you see if this still exists in 1.5 beta 1?

I had this problem earlier, but not now.

This is not bug 274424, that bug talks about normal printing.
When this bug appear there is noproblem in doing normal printing.
Also when this bug appear we cant do printing "from page x to y" option.

re-tested on

correction to my earlier comment #3 

on Firefox/1.0.7 I still see problem if you select just only directions steps at
http://www.mapquest.com/ and do print selection. 
If you select other text including directions steps, other text will be printed
properly.
No problem with other print options.

did same test on Firefox/1.6a1 few times but I was unable to reproduce.

Since this is not reproducible in the latest builds, it must be fixed.
