On many websites, I can't seem to get a decent printout. For example, my
local paper has a searchable obituaries page, and I got 60 hits on my
last search, but it would only print the first page. I can see the rest
on screen, but I can't get them out on paper.
<http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/montgomerynews/obituary-search.aspx?page=1&affiliateid=2762&countryid=1&daterange=88888&stateid=49&startdate=20110116&enddate=20110210&entriesperpage=50>
This returns 60 hits, of which the first 50 are displayed, but only
seven will print. In fact, in print preview, the first page is the page
header with no content, the second page is the first page of content,
and the third page is the page footer. That's it. The other 43 hits have
vanished.
I've tried this with several different printers, including Adobe
Acrobat, and they're all the same. Mozilla and SeaMonkey seem to think
the second page is 10 feet tall and print only the first 11 inches.
Needless to say, it prints fine in Internet Exploiter (except the header
page, which is the same in both).
Any ideas? I hate wasting ink and paper on ads, and I really hate having
to switch browsers whenever I want to print something.
Yes, switch to Google Chrome/Chromium to print.
Attempting to print that page (an most any web page) in anything Mozilla
is akin to spitting into the wind& keeping dry. Mozilla (SeaMonkey and
FF) has had issues for years with printing; I provided some examples on
the dev group/list awhile back& was told that it was my OS that was the
problem:

So I then switch operating systems (from linux to Win7) and... well you
can read the entire thread for the responses.
I've also tried printing your web page on SM 2.1x and FF 4.x and it's
still the same. Just install Chrome/Chromium and print it from there -
you'll save yourself a ton of aggravation& the print will work out of
the box.
Try printing this page with Google Chrome:

The printout looks _identical_ to SM's printout. -JW
