Is it just me or is Firefox's printing rather broken?
For example I'm currently trying to print out some instructions for loadspeaker repair. They are at:- http://www.audiofriends.nl/refoaming/
I have to ask, why in this case you are not simply downloading the PDF of those instructions that is available from the top menu and printing that ?
But back on topic, Firefox in my opinion copes as well as (if not better) at printing that most other browsers, including IE < Version 7.
Most of the problems relate to site layouts that are naturally optimised for screen aspect ratios not translating to well to A4 paper.
However the problem with that site I fear is the complete mess of the (MS publisher generated) source. Which has generated the site as one big table (with loads of cells for layout padding) and then stuck the actual content as a giant single jpeg in the middle. This is most likely confusing the daylights out of the print rendering in firefox.
