Firefox: Bad printing - I've reset all printer settings, but it's still bad

Look at my site www.jazzarkivet.se/page3.html and www.jazzarkivet.se/page4.html. "Preview" and you'll see that the second part of the page is incorrect. If I use InternetExplorer the preview (and printing) will be correct. From what I can see on the web i'm not alone with this problem. Robert Josephsson, stompoff@comhem.se

Looks like "page break" issues causing that printing problem with your web pages.

There are few long standing Bugs filed about "page break" faults in Firefox, dating to before Firefox even existed. Bugs that were filed on Netscape & the Mozilla Suite in the previous century, a couple of years before Firefox started out a Phoenix and then became Firebird before becoming known as Firefox in Feb 2004.

Setting up "printer ready" pages seems to get around that in HTML4; and also being careful with the layout of DIVs. HTML5 pages in Firefox doesn't seem to have problems like that appear.
