Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)

When I print multiple pages of a webpage separately, the start of each page (after the first) is not consistent. For example, if I print page 1-2, stop, then 3, the first line printed on page 3 is not always the line that follows (in the original website) the last line printed on 2.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a long (multipage) website.
2. Print the first page.
3. Print the second page. Make sure this is a separate process, don't just put page 1-2 in print range.

Actual Results:  
One line is skipped. Say the website is like this:
[stuff before... this is near end of a page]
Line 1: 1111111111
Line 2: 2222222222
Line 3: 3333333333
I print page 1. The last line on page 1 printed is 1111111111.
I then print page 2. The fist line of page 2 printed is 3333333333. Line 2 gets omitted.

Expected Results:  
In the above situation, FF should have printed 2222222222 at the top of the page when I went to print page 2.

This is a simulation of Print functions through PDFcreator, which is installed like a printer.
Notice how at the bottom of the page, #4 choice D is the last line printed.

Again, a print simulation with PDFcreator. Notice how the top of the page starts with question 5. The E option of question 4 (see original page) is completely omitted from the printouts when page 1 to 1, and then 2 to 2 is printed.
