I found a perfect live example on this site :
http://fvsch.com/code/bugs/ff4-print-opacity/

The print preview displays all lines, but most of them disappear when printing the page in the XPS printer.

Bug 920997 seems to be another manifestation of this. Note that /some/ parts of the table in the signature (as well as simple image signatures) are printed with opacity, though with an offset and a wrong cropping window. Plain-text signatures are omitted completely (or fall off the printable range or beyond the cropping applied to that box).

> printed with opacity, though with an offset and a wrong cropping window.

As those were signatures with images, bug 697735 should match that observation.

Any idea Jeff? Given the regression window this should be form bug 562746 - http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/102be3d1f103 - which is huge unfortunately :(
