Expected Results:  Text of www page to be included in PostScript file.

Tested with

  PC Linux 2001020712 broken
  PC Linux 2001020706 broken

Adding:

I tested it with PC Linux 2001020721 and it is also broken.

Hm it looks like my bug 68146 is a dup of this.
I get odd results: Some more complicated pages print (www.faz.de/www.faz.net)
but rather simple pages don't print. To make it even more odd: If I select some
text/images it prints!

I think this bug might have something to do with tables.

Comment 4

Attachment: Simplified html page which will lose its text when printed

It seems that printing don't like two tables concatenated without other tags
between them. Also it is required that tables won't fit to the single page.

If I put "<p>" tag between tables both tables are printed.

dup of bug 24952?

Comment 7

[Asko Tontti]

hmm, probably it is dup but something had changed between 2001020608 and
2001020706 because it worked better with 2001020608.

Now I tested both pages with PC Linux 2001030221 and with it printing of
those page works much better :)
