So, yes, printing the opensuse web page is indeed broken.
I believe that's a different problem though.
Possibly.
The problem you describe - and which I also see - is invariably caused by the use of absolute position statements in the CSS in my experience.
The problem benefici described has very different symptoms, which I believe to be font problems (most likely font metrics, I suspect).
Printing a page from the wikipedia prints the article only, without the graphics - so it seems that wiki pages intercept the print function to do printing of what "they" think I want to print. But at least the wikipedia prints the article correctly, opensuse doesn't.
This is again CSS. They have different CSS for print media. But the pictures should be printing. Which page doesn't?
Any. For instance: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_time_operating_system http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UnitedLinux prints only the text, like a version prepared for printing. If I use print preview, I see some fonts are badly rendered, they print on top of others. For the opensuse wiki... the main page, for instance. I tried also "http://en.opensuse.org/Creating_YaST_Installation_Sources", and the preview clips text out of the page (the 'code' like text).
Printing a page from "http://www.gnome.org/learn/users-guide/2.8/ch04s05.html" is also broken.
Looks OK to me (in print preview)
Here it looks simply horrible. I get a thin column with the text, and a second column at the right containing the "learn" panel or frame, and only in the first page. The whole thing occupies 16 pages. I have the pdf file saved... I'll attach a low quality, small size screenshot, so you can see what I mean.
The selector to choose print one frame or all or as displayed, is grayed out, on all three previous tests.
Those pages don't have frames do they?
I have no idea. Could be that. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHYEfrtTMYHG2NR9URAsfYAJ0Zt6EZhTgjNky+K8X9EuL6x8uq7QCeLS1K NwhXvlTT/8IvpwIFkxymdrg= =fnFJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
