- when i open a page like this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/kdzttdcb%28VS.71%29.aspx

with firefox, and print it, also i do first PRINT PREVIEW, the zones with code (preformated text), are printed only up to 1 page, if the zone is longer than 1 page, it is not printed. with IE i can print complete the same page

Every time Firefox opened

Hello Roberto.

Hopefully this support article is what you need:

Morbus, tks a lot.

but the article refers to upgrade to 3.0, and i'm using

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3

so, it seems al least this problem was not solved?

Same problem, will only print the first page of a web site. If the text continues for two or more pages I can only print page one. Also in Preview I can only see the first page, says 'Page 1 of 1'
