Note: there are two issues some folks have run into with printing on Firefox that I am aware of at this time.
One, printing does not work at all. For this the fix is at this website:

Two, the first and last page will print but nothing in between...For the fix to this you have to look at the websites CSS file. Basically it has to do with a CSS IDENTIFIER having a clear: both setting. Simple change that to clear: none. You can do so with the stylish extension for firefox. There are more complicated fixes, but they require the webmaster of the particular site to change his website. Many will not do so. If anyone needs specific help with this issue I can be reached at boscagarda-programming@yahoo.com

I dont know if anyone else has noticed this situation. Whenever I try to print any Dataface based documents I get the first page printed fine (usually) then the second page is almost always just the footer. No pages in between. This occasionally happens on a few other websites also. But if I use the extension, nuke anything enhanced, it usually does the trick. But not on the DF generated pages. If I set to No Style, it still does the same thing. So I think it is not a CSS issue, but rather a table issue perhaps.
I am running Firefox 1.5.0.7 on XP. It prints fine on IE. Which of course I would like to avoid.
If anyone has the same experience or ideas, please let me know.
Thank you kindly.
