I had no problems printing webpages with Firefox 1.5 but ever since I upgraded to Firefox 2 I've had problems with printing via Firefox. Basically, when I print, no matter what setting I choose in Print Preview or Page Setup (eg Shrink To Fit, 30%, 100%, etc) the page I'm printing comes out in a tiny box and there is heaps of white space around this tiny box. If I change the settings it only changes it WITHIN this tiny box, and doesn't make the box bigger. It doesn't matter if I change the margins or not, it's as if it thinks that that tiny box is the size of my page.

Here's a print preview of my problem:



Any help? I've tried printing the exact same pages with Opera and IE7 and there is no problem.

You need to specify that you're printing to Letter or A4 in your printer settings (mine was set to "user-defined"). Strange as IE7 and Opera (and the previous firefox) both defaulted to Letter/A4 but this one requires you to explicitly choose.

That's because Firefox is of the devil!

It was made in the Fire Pits of Hell and the evil therin is wiley as a fox!

Repent now and delete the blasphemy, and all shall be forgiven!
