A web page Firefox prints incorrectly

[Timothy Miller]

Binary package hint: firefox

Check out this page:

http://developer.kde.org/~wheeler/cpp-pitfalls.html

Konqueror prints it just fine. But when I print it with Firefox, it sorta runs off the end of one page. That is, it prints to the margin limit of the printer on one page and doesn't print any more.

Can anyone confirm this?

Confirmed.
Attached is a print-to-file of that document which is only a one page ps.

I found similar behavior on this Netgear printer compatibility list page:

http://kbserver.netgear.com/kb_web_files/n101216.asp

Print Preview shows what will actually print and only the first page of content will print. In Print Preview, the printer table runs off the bottom of the page, similarly to the C++ pitfalls page mentioned above.

The Netgear page prints fine in Opera 9.22 on Windows.

If I want to print an html page with firefox 3, it crash without message.

It is possible to restore but that's all.

This problem during since alpha version to firefox3 and the new versions don't correct this problem.

There still seems to be a problem with printing. My current example (under 10.04, 3.6.8) is that this page

http://www.blog.highub.com/php/php-core/set-ubuntu-up-for-wake-on-lan/

when print previewed or printed, shows two pages with headers but only the first page has content. Switching to landscape changes the content on the first page because of the layout change but does not put any on the second page.

Timothy and anyone else affected,

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu and Firefox since that time.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that was reported? Please let us know if you do.

If we do not hear from anyone this bug report will expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
