Seriously. It’s crap. And I have no idea why! Does anyone have an explanation? Opera and IE manage relatively well… and Safari, being an Apple app, would probably perform in a manner typical of that company’s products in the print field, but Firefox screws up margins, text spacing, links, and all manner of other things. It’s just broken!
I’ve had problems with Windows versions of Firefox as well, so don’t try and tell me it’s just Linux (though that may be a part of it). Any ideas/links to Bugzilla?

Yeah I think it is broken, it is going to be fixed in 1.5 I *think*.
Apple’s printing it good, when it works. It has some issues with printing to Windows shares (as does Windows printing to Apple shares).
Printing directly to a printer (or IP printer) works great.
I have to concur. I have always favored the Firefox browser for my own use, yet in designing my firms intranet app, which must be capable of printing legal sheets (contract) I was forced to use IE as simply because Firefox was incapable of doing the job.
I don’t understand why FFX lags behind in this one area, when it leads in others.
