I can confirm the issue as reported (on FF4.0.1 WinXP) but unsure on what is the wanted behaviour, need UX or module owner input. Also debatable whether this is a bug or a feature request.
Maybe a better summary would be:
 "Changing page style to No Style doesn't affect print preview or printing"
or
 "[RFE] Changing page style to No Style should affect print preview & printing"

From my testing on a Bugzilla bug page (where 2 page styles are defined), changing to a different page style does affect print preview, but changing to No Style will mean print preview will show the last selected page style.

Based on the fact that changing page styles affects print preview, a user's choice of style is honoured for printing. Therefore I believe this is a bug because when the user chooses No Style, it is not honoured for printing.

I think this is a bug, too.
When many people see the word "No style", they will instantaneously think that CSS doesn't apply.
I think better summery would be "Changing page style to No Style doesn't affect print preview or printing".

Updating summary to something like that, & confirming in my nightly.

This affects printed output, too -- not just print preview.

Also: This is special to "No Style" -- the other options in the menu[1] _do_ seem to be accurately reflected in printed output.
