I never heard of a browser that prints very well. The obvious reason is html just isn't designed for that.
Well, the author of a webpage could prepare special css for rendering the page specifically for printing. It is in fact done quite often, although not always with css.
But that very statement about flowing to fit any window makes me think that it should be no problem for a browser or plug-in to simply re-render the page in an imaginary window that has the same properties as a printed sheet, (A4 or Letter dimensions at 300 dpi, or maybe 100dpi for rendering the page since thats what web designers assume screens are, and then scale the result to 300 or just ask the printer driver to do so)
Look up chapter 13 in the CSS2 specification. It's all about paged media. I know it doesn't solve Randalls (nor others') printing problem, but the browser shouldn't be getting all the blame. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
