For a receipt that we print often, some of us have two pages that print, so we have to change the setting each time to print only page 1. Only one line of info on second page. I checked IE and it prints only one page. Would appreciate a way for it to print only the one page to save time and paper when someone forgets to change the number of pages.

Who's "we" and "us"?

Is this for a particular webpage?
Or is this a general question, where Firefox may need an additional line for printing a webpage, which goes to the 2nd page; whereas that doesn't happen with a different browser?

"we" and "us" are people who print receipts daily, so this issue is most noticeable when using this specific webpage. It does seem to be the webpage info that prints on the second page. Earlier this week I found a Help that said to try printing from another browser, so I tried IE and it only prints the one page. Now I cannot locate the Help to get instructions on setting changes that could resolve the issue.

Try this; when you are ready, use Print Preview. From here you can see what your print out will look like. After you press Print, a window from your printer's program should come up showing you print options. Look for what pages to print, or something like that.
