THIS TIME -- with the attachments!
I've developed an odd problem when trying to print from Seamonkey 2.46 (both
browser and mail clients) on a WinXP machine. My Win7 machines behave normally.
The Print Preview box always the user to select 'portrait' or 'landscape'
orientation even before selecting a printer. In the last few days, those
choices are no longer their original shape -- they're drastically elongated.
See attached screenshot.
Selecting a different scale does change the scale of the material to be
printed, but it doesn't affect the odd paper sizes.
If I ignore the problem and print anyway, the material that shows up in Print
Preview appears in the upper right corner of the printed page (see attached
example).
Where does SM store the paper sizes that it displays in Print Preview? It seems to be separate from my Windows printer settings, since the correct paper sizes show up for each printer in Windows (under Printing Preferences), while the oddball sizes show up when I select File | Print | Properties from within Seamonkey -- but even when I change the paper sizes there, the elongated page sizes print out on paper and still show up in Print Preview
I realized this morning that the elongated page sizes were vaguely familiar --
I verified that they're my preferred size for adhesive labels for a Brother
label printer that I rarely use, but which is installed on this computer.
I checked about:config for 'height' and 'width' and sure enough, those sizes
show up as the settings for my other two printers. That is what has been
causing those sizes to be used when I try to print on plain paper; I restored
the proper paper sizes in about:config and the problem has gone away. I guess
it was just a random glitch on my machine!
