Firefox 3.6 prints only part of a webpage

Firefox 3.6 (all subversions) only prints the first few pages of certain web pages. An example is shown at http://bit.ly/NNvWR. When trying to print this page, only 2 pages of text will print; the third page just shows some page end matter. This does not happen in previous versions of FF (I tried both 3.5.9 and 3.5.10, both of which printed correctly).
Besides a bug fix, I'm interested to see if the same thing happens to other users of FF 3.6. An easy way to see is to go to the above page, choose File->Print Preview. If only three pages are visible, the problem exists (that page should take around 5 pages to print).
I performed the following troubleshooting. Starting FF in Safe mode does not fix it. The suggestions at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages#Does_not_print_entire_page_content do not apply. I also tried resetting the printer in FF and using a brand new profile. Nothing stops the issue from occurring.
This happens on both Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit and XP Pro 32 bit.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to FF 3.6

I have a Mac and an Epson printer. No problem in Safari. But in Firefox, it only prints the first page of a series (plus a thin header on a blank page preceding that page). I have "Paper Handling" set to "print all", but it will not obey. WHA??????

HP 576dw printer prints only part of document

A multipage document is sent to printer, Word or PDF. The printer prints only part of the document. For example, in an 80 page document being printed double sided, only 56 pages actually print.
HP print software indicates no new updates are available.

Mail: How to print only part of a message

I often want to print (on paper) only part of a message. I have tried:
1. Select the part to be printed, but the whole message is printed;
2. Do Print > PDF (button) > Open PDF in Preview (button) >Select and delete the part that I don't want > "Message": The original document can't be changed, so a duplicate with your changes has been created" appears at top pointing to an active down arrow and link labelled "Edited" > I click on that link > Dialogue box :" Header text of message", "Where:" (Documents etc. offered).
But I want to print the part of it without the fuss of saving, searching and then printing, then deleting. My task does not seem unusual. Is there a way? Thanks.

OOPS! I just remembered before going on holiday that on advice from somewhere that for security reasons it was a good idea to prevent Java from being used (Safari Preferences). So I did. I have just re-enabled Java and all is well. Whew!
But is enabling Java a security risk (malware)?

Word document print preview shows entire pasted image, but prints only part of image

I just bought a new HP 8620. When doing a copy and paste into Word, everything is shown in the print preview. However, part of the image, usually the bottom, is not printed.

Hi nedamirakl,
Thank you for your response!
If you copy a photo, does it print the whole picture? Copy Text or Mixed Documents.
After some further searching, I would recommend to try the shrink to fit option in Word, Shrink to Fit in Word 2010 and Word 2013.
If that does not work, please try the following:
Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Re-install the software using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
Hope this helps, and have a nice day!

Acrobat pro 9.5.5 is printing only part of the page

It looks fine on screen; it looks fine in the little preview when I print; but the actual printed page is mostly white, for this one page in a multipage document. No layers. Grey scale. This is a page that was combined with other PDF pages to form a document.
Mac OS 10.10.2

Replying to myself - after searching for a while, I tried "print as image" under Advanced... in the print window, and the whole page printed. Not sure what is going on but at least I have a work around. I'd still like to know whether other people I send PDFs to will run into the same problem.

When i try to print emails, it only prints first part of email. it is not a problem with my epson printer, could it be a firefox issue or is it an issue with my service provider att/yahoo?

my epson printer only prints the part of email that shows on my screen before scrolling down. i have checked with epson tech and it is not a printer problem. can you help?

Problems like that with Firefox printing look like they are fixed in Firefox 4.

I can not print only a selected part of a page

I have reset the print.print_printer and still can't print only the selected part of a page. I highlight what I want to print and use control P to get to the printer setup. Then I click the selection button and then OK. The preview screen shows what would print but the page has blank space above what was selected. This has only started to happen since the upgrade to FF 11.0. I have tried the same operation using IE and it works fine. please, is there a fix for this??

Hi jweigh,
This is a known bug. You should take a look at this thread:

Firefox does not print in full web pages. It prints at best the left half of the page. This has only happened recently. It is not my printer as I get full page printing from from Internet explorer and other applications. Help!

Firefox has started printibg only the left side of a web page . I have tried adjusting the settings without any success in fact it made the print area even smaller. I have adjusted all the settings on the print menu but cannot overcome this. How can I return to printing full web pages?

Try the '''''reset''''' described here: <br />

I can't print only selected text since upgrading to Firefox 8.0. Using Mac OS Lion

Until Firefox 8.0, I could select text on any webpage and print only that text. Now, I can't even get a print dialog box with an option to "Print Selection" only.
I also recently upgraded to OS Lion (from OS Leopard) on Mac. Any chance that that is the problem or is it in Firefox? I've seen lots of help requests on this site from other people with problems printing selected text from websites.

Firefox hangs the same way in safe mode.
There is no such thing as a Firefox program folder on a Mac, nor is there an "uninstall" to do, so these directions are not relevant to a Mac user.
The problem remains.

Firefox prints only every other page on a bulk print run, why?

I use Firefox to bulk print Ebay invoices. It's been just fine for years. But 2 days ago it started printing just every other page in full. Intervening pages had only the top 20% printed (headers and footers are set to blank), and it prints one extra blank sheet at the end of the print run. 'Fit to page width' is enabled. I print at A5 size. When I check print preview it shows the problem exactly. The preview confirms 80% of every second page is missing, and there is an extra blank page at the end. Anyone else have this problem?

Hi ashura,
When you print, check to see which presets and defaults are selected. It could be a stored preference to only print every other.
In order to reset these preferences in Firefox:

Printer only prints part of picture on paper

I have a HP Photosmart C4780 printer. I've tried printing pictures on it, but only part of the picture gets printed. I'm using 4 X 6 paper, and that what I have selected on the computer. Any ideas?

Hi Curious53,
I understand that you are having a problem printing a 4 x 6 photo. I will try my best to help you with this issue.
I recommend Resetting the Printer as this may resolve the issue.
In the HP Photosmart C4700 series user guide on page 22 are the steps for printing photo's. Follow the steps in the print settings for printing 4 x 6 photo's.
Let me know if this helped.
Thank you,

Why cant I highlight part of a document and print only what is selected in safari?

Why is it not possible to highlight and print the selection in Safari, thought the imac was supposed to do everything, WRONG.
I also have I.pad 2 and because it does not support adobe flash, I cannot open a magazine that I have each week, I have to do this on the imac, so when away from home it again doesnt do what I want it to. Does everything people say. WRONG AGAIN.
Should have stuck with the laptop, it actually does do these things mentioned above.

I purchased the iPad first and waited a year HOPING Apple would fix this problem OR at the least provide something comparable to WINDOWS!
WRONG....and yes it is hard to believe for how ADVANCED Apple is.....that they don't have a simple easy program that allows you to HIGHLIGHT and PRINT ONLY what you highlight!
But....they are making leaps and bounds.....at least you can now cut & paste....thats a good thing!?
HOPEFULLY.......in the VERY,VERY NEAR FUTURE Apple will supply us with the simple software to do these simple time saving chores!
(highlight and print ONLY what you highlight)
Until then we have to cut and paste to several different apps or programs....hoping it will allow you to print ONLY WHAT THE USER WANTS TO PRINT!

My unusual (?) printer issue -- Prints only partial lines when printing in black (part 2)

I have been using my HP Officejet J4680 with my Win7 PC for several years and relatively problem-free -- until about six months ago.
My printing issue might be rather odd. So odd, in fact, I’m not sure how to succinctly describe it. I’m not too techie, but I will try….
This printer will print some lines correctly, other lines print only partially, and some lines don’t print at all.
This oddity happens ONLY when I print in black. When changing the color of the text to any other color other than black the page does print correctly.
Further, this issue seems to occur ONLY when printing certain things/files/formats. For example, material from most websites will print correctly. As will most .PDF files. Printing files such as .txt, .doc, .wps, etc., seem to be the most problematic.
Fixes I have tried include:
Uninstalled and reinstalled printer
Run HP’s diagnostic tools (including checking for any driver updates)
Installed several new black ink cartridges
Cleaned and re-aligned printer head
Lastly, the “copy” feature continues to produce good results. These problematic symptoms seem to occur only while using the “print” function.
Short of relegating this printer to the trash, I’ve tried everything I can think of. Help/ideas/suggestions appreciated.

How can I control printing highlighted part of a page?

I have a problem with a new computer on which I can not print highlighted part of a page. When I try the highlighted part is not printed. If I use my old computer the highlighted part is printed as expected. I have compared the settings for both the printer and Firefox on both computers, but do not see any difference. Both runs Win7, runs on the same network and use the same printer. Only difference I can think of is that the new is a 64 bit computer. Any ideas of how I can solve my problem?

Hi 16tons,
The issue you are referring to might be a known bug. You should look at CWW's post in this thread:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/923294
A fix is planned for the next Firefox update.
Hopefully this helps!
