341907 - floated table with specified width prints first page only

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 294991

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[lee]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4

I tried to print from a webpage and only the first page would print. (I eventually got it working in Netscape 7.2.)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to example web page.
2.Choose Print. (Save As PDF also does the same thing)


Actual Results:  
Page 1 printed (the footer said page 1 of 1). However, no other pages printed at all.

Expected Results:  
The software should have printed the whole document.

This web page that failed was using tables-- I think it is a bug where printing a page set up with tables causes trouble. Also, this web page was NOT using frames, if it helps any. My printer is a HP LaserJet 2200dse with a network card installed.

P.S. This bug might be related to bug 325388, but this bug only happens apparently when css is not present.

I get the same behaviour printing to PostScript.

This bug appears to be very similar (if not identical) to the bug you described.

Attachment: Simplified testcase

Prints only the first 4 boxes on the first page. Take out align or width property and all 6 boxes are printed on two pages. Tested with ff1.5.0.4 on win2k. 

Reporter, could you confirm that?

This is exactly what happened when I tried it.
Mac OS X 10.4.2, Firefox 1.5.0.4

Bon Echo 2.0a3 also has this bug. Current trunk has a buggy Print Preview - it always shows Landscape mode. No matter what settings are. In Landscape mode, this bug does not exist in both ff1.5.0.4 and 2.0a3.

Very probably. I wasn't sure what all of the description for 324956 meant, but it sounded similar.

There are many similar bug reports and in fact the bug is as old as I can think about it. Essentially, some table data is lost when printing. Duping this to a bug which is rather general. If you are sure that it is different, please undo.
