398518 - Printing cut off

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 154892

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[John Stockie]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1.7) Gecko/20070914 Firefox/2.0.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1.7) Gecko/20070914 Firefox/2.0.0.7

Sometimes when a web page takes up more than one printed page, the print-out gets cut off.  This happens on Firefox 2.0.0.7 running under Mac OS X 10.4.10.  It _does_not_ get cut off when I print using Safari.

This always happens when I print from a Google Maps URL looking for directions from one site to another, and the list of directions exceeds one page (seee URL above).

**NOTE**  This has also happened to me sporadically in the past with other (non-Google) web sites, although I can't come up with another example.  Firefox cuts off the printout after one page, but Safari has no problems printing the whole thing.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log on to www.maps.google.com.
2. Get directions from one place to another (see example URL above).
3. Print from the "File" menu.
4. When the print dialog comes up, press "Cancel".
5. In the map pop-up window, select checkbox "Show original map view".
6. In the pop-up windown, click on the "Print" link.
7. In the print dialog, click "Print".
Actual Results:  
I get two sides of printing, the first with a large map, the second with the start of the list of directions, cut off at the bottom.  The third page is empty.

Expected Results:  
Should have printed three full pages of results.

I have added and removed Firefox page headers: no change.
I have changed the paper format (A4/letter, portrait/landscape, etc.): no change.

With Google, printing the original view of the maps page works fine.  It's only when I go through steps 4-7 above that the page gets cut off.  BUT this does happen with other web sites as well!!
