Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 205001

(Firefox :: General, defect)

On some pages, such as the example URL, you cannot scale the font for printing. That is to say if you select File -> Print Preview and then change the "Scale" to any value other than 100% the size of the font does not increase or decrease. Images and other elements such as tables do shrink or grow appropriately. This incorrect behavior also manifests when the page(s) is(are) actually printed.

Works correctly on majority of pages; maybe this is some sort of CSS problem? Should this be an "advocacy" bug?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Navigate to affected page (see example URL)
2. Select File -> Print Preview
3. Set "Scale:" to any other setting than current
4: Print (optional)

Actual Results:  
Font on page stays same size while other elements shrink or grow correctly. Incorrect size manifests when printed as well.

Expected Results:  
Font should scale along with other elements. Printer output should also be scaled correctly.

Printer is HP LaserJet 4050 using Microsoft XP shipped PCL6 drivers.

This appears very much to be the same issue. Marking as duplicate.
