We are working with layers and transparent gifs. The print preview is perfect but the print is incomplete. The program from firefox does not accept the whole printside. We think that the problem may be in the understanding from transparency   of gif files or layer. Perhaps it may be both. Please help us!!!
You can test our problem on following link: www.haus-konfigurator/klb
P.S.Internetexplorer work perfectly, so the problem has to be found on your program.

Reproducible: Always

Attachment: Example where Print Preview does not match Printed doc.

This is a bug I have seen on Firefox as well. It occurs on most web pages, including http://www.mozilla.org/ as you can view the Print Preview and it looks great, but an actual printout (or even printout to PDF as shown in attachment) will show a white background instead of the transparency shown on the Print Preview. The issue on example attachment can be seen on the Firefox and Thunderbird images and graphical text.
