All,

All of a sudden FF prints Web pages at a reduced size. IE prints the same pages full size.

Please review and follow Fix printing problems in Firefox, see if it helps.

Hi Alex,

Thank you, but nothing worked.

Try to adjust the print scale: File > Page Setup > "Format & Options": Scale (unselect: "Shrink to fit page width")

Hi Cor-El,

Thanks, but it did not help.

I have this problem too, the first page prints correctly, but subsequent pages do not scale correctly and are too large for the paper, with parts of the text are missing. This is not fixed by checking or unchecking the "ignore scaling/shrink to fit page width" in the print window, or by changing the scaling%.

I am running Firefox 14.0.1, on Mac OS 10.7.4.

I have also followed all the troubleshooting steps in http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firefox%20prints%20incorrectly, and none of these steps has fixed the problem.

I see that other people in the past have reported this problem, but there doesn't appear to be a general fix that works for everyone, apart from going back to Firefox 4.x or 3.x, which doesn't appeal. I've also reported the bug directly to Mozilla, but no response there. Would love to know if there's anything else I can do.

Has anybody found a way yo deal with this, I have tried to follow FFS suggestions, but the print preview still shows less than half a page. The problem is definately not with the printer as I can print normally from IE and from other applications. The same problem is on my wife's computer down stairs.
