Does this happen with every page you try to print from Firefox?

This quite often happens when the page to be printed looks like it will fit on the page, but actually has some extra padding or white-space at the bottom, which runs on to a second page.

If the latter is true, then the simplest solution is to enter a print range in the print dialog box ("Pages from: 1 to: 1").

I'm generating a PDF document which is a sequence of labels that displays correctly on the screen within Firefox. However, when I print the document, Firefox appends a single blank page/label to the end. When I set the scaling to 92%, the extra page/label is omitted. I thought it could be a problem with the Firefox document reader and switched to Adobe, but it had no affect. I then repeated the document generation and printing using Chrome and received no extra page/label, without the need to scale. To me, this appears to be a bug with how Firefox is handling the output. Any suggestions?
