[Jeff Sexton]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; .NET CLR 3.0.04506)

On a site I am a developer for, FF only prints the first and last pages of a multi-page document. IE prints correctly. I believe this has to do with css/div expansion in FF v IE, but am unsure. Checked the div expansion using background colors, and IE expands as expected, FF does not. I know that technically FF is correct, but I need these pages to print! HELP!!!

Our site has 4 layers
<div id="1"><div id="2"><div id="3"><div id="4">If you put text here that runs for multiple pages, and CSS puts this height=100% and min-height = 500px, not only will text here not print, </div>but another div serving as a bar prints exactly 500px below the start of div 4!</div></div></div>

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build a page with multi-layered div tags. 
2. Put text in the inner most div such that the text SHOULD print on multiple pages.
3. Print the page by hitting the print icon on the toolbar.
Actual Results:  
First and last pages (of a 6 page document) printed correctly. Middle 4 did not.

Expected Results:  
All pages should have printed correctly. In IE they do.

Please reopen if you see this in Firefox 4 and can attach a HTML file as test case or a sample URL.
