Printout of selected text is blank except for header and footer

When I select web page text and ask FF 11.0 to print the selection, I get a blank page (with header and footer, so the page is wasted), and none of the text I selected.

This happens with an Epson printer and an HP, so it's not the printer. Chrome prints the page correctly, so it's not my system. I have reset the printer settings per the troubleshooter, but it made no difference.

How can I get FF to print selected text?

Sorry, this is a bug in Firefox 11, scheduled to be fixed in Firefox 12. If they got the fix in, it should be a short wait...
