I have also run into that problem. I don't have a "public" page handy

right now to provide as an example,* but there have been several times 
I've needed to fire up IE to print a multipage web page. When that happens 
I've noticed that FF's Print Preview shows just one page, while the screen 
shows several page. IE shows and can print them. Maybe this thread will be 
kept alive long enough for me or someone to come across an example page 
and post it for diagnosis. WinXp, FF2 and FF3b, etc.

======
* The one page that I know gives trouble is my bank's online account 
activity listing for my personal bank account, I can't point others to 
that one, obviously. But there have been public pages which display the 
trouble, too.

See the following link to FF knowledgebase about the problem.
It may help.

ges

Does not print multiple pages

DIVs, I-Frames, and Tables that extend beyond the end of a page can 
cause this problem. [5] Related bug reports include:

* Bug 113217 – iframe printing broken when iframe height more than page 
height
* Bug 154892 – Splitting Absolutely positioned frames not implemented - 
Missing second page of content when printing or print previewing this 
site (fixed in Firefox 3)

Thanks - it's been noticed. It may get fixed. Status quo.

A very old problem but I have not been to the group in a while.

Firefox is incapable of printing a multi page document!!!

I must use IE to print.

Has this been fixed?

IS it EVER going to be fixed?  Does anyone care??

I do not want to discourage you, but I was complaining about this three 
years ago <SIGH>
