Hi Alexander,

I screened the mozilla bug reports and found the following

Similar or identical bugs

239267 printing (preview, to file, to printer) does not work properly
       Seems to be "my bug".
       Problem with www.w3.org as described by original poster
       Problem with www.emse.fr/~xserpagg/ not observed, though page
       (i.e. html-code) might have evolved since 2004-03-31

315049 print preview is displayed incorrectly
       Bug description relates to firefox on XP, but observed "anomaly"
       very similar to my observations.
       However, I could not observe the described dependence on printer
       models.

Most probable different bug, but hard to confirm following the
description:
248075 The print preview and print output are partially blanked out
307631 Text lost during printing, while in print preview it's ok

Similar title, but not "my" problem -> discarded:
193211 Incomplete Printing
333425 print preview rendering AND ui bug
267547
Print Preview shows first page almost empty, printout is fine
109251 Page malformed and images missing when printed to printer or PS
file

So in summary, I suppose the correct upstream bug is 239267. It is hard
to tell from the provided info with 100% confidence that this is the
exact match, but probability is very high.

Hope that helps.

Holger
