	<td rowspan="2" class="is24-col2 is24-toplist">
		text1
	</td>
	<td rowspan="2" class="is24-col3">
		text2
	</td>

	<td colspan="5" class="is24-element-noborder">
		text3
	</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td class="is24-col4">
		text4
	</td>
	<td class="is24-col5">
		<p>text5
		</p>
		<p>text6
		</p>
	</td>
	<td class="is24-col6">text7
	</td>
	<td class="is24-col7">text8
	</td>
	<td class="is24-col8">text9
	</td>
</tr>

I can reproduce the hang in Firefox 2.0.0.3 on Linux.
It works for me in Firefox trunk 20070419 on Linux.
I'm pretty sure this has been fixed by changes in the table code.

Can you reproduce the hang in a recent trunk build?

It "works" (no hang) in 3.0a4pre but the print-output is not as I would expect it.

Looks like a table layout bug in a Print context.

this does not hang, please open a new bug for the print errors if there  are still there.
