I am almost always frustrated by the results of printing HTML pages from Firefox (I'm using version 2.0.x).
Interesting responses from various people and I agree with much of what's been said but I think everybody's missed the point ...
The most common problem I encounter is that text lines mean nothing to the pagination process and it is common for a row of text to be sliced horizontally and split across a page boundary.
This isn't true for Firefox, at least not for FF 1.5 or 2. Firefox does split text in complete rows as you'd hope (and it tries to follow most of CSS2). I never see the problem you describe with either FF1.5 or FF2. I think it's much more likely that this is a problem with page margin or header settings or printable area in the Firefox or printer config. Sorry, I don't have any more specific suggestion to offer. FWIW, the main problems I see with FF are: - when authors use position:absolute wrongly (they haven't read CSS2 chap 13 - paged media as Per suggested :) and that leads to all the output just flowing off the bottom of a single page. - when there's a long pre-formatted line, leading FF to shrink it to fit and making all the text unreadably small. I think FF is at least partly at fault for that. Cheers, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
