This is probably a dupe of bug 154892.

Richard, please try this in Firefox 2 or later and let us know if it works there. Alternatively, please attach the full source (HTML Complete and probably zipped) so that we can see what the exact problem is.

Chris is probably right.

You'd want to strip anything confidential/private out of the source before posting it though.

Thank you one and all for your suggestions.  I installed FF 2.0.0.2 and had the same problem.  While perusing the notes on #154892 one of the last ones mentioned a similar problem with GroupWise, which we also use.  That printed 5 pages on Camino without difficulty.  FF printed the first page only.

I can not send the HTML because Stuart suggested the is confidential material (it is my pay stub).  My feeling is that it may be a conflict with People Soft.

It's almost definitely a dup of bug 154892, so we'll just go ahead and mark it as such. It's not a problem with PeopleSoft; it's a known printing bug that affects any pages that happen to use a certain CSS option for the main content of the page.

Thanks for the in-put.  I guess I will just have to print from IE for a while.

While it's true this isn't technically a problem with PeopleSoft, it's also quite possible that there's a way to achieve the same effect without using an absolutely positioned div. It'd probably be a good idea to let the PeopleSoft folks know about this problem.

On a side note, you'd think companies would actually, you know, *test* this sort of thing with the biggest non-IE browser out there.
