I have also had problems with Firefox printouts with certain pages. The
content which should stretch across several printed pages only shows on
the first page and is then cut short, but seems to overlap onto the
second page in print preview mode (and not on paper). Also the page
header (which in this case is an image) is printed on a separate page
which it shouldn't be. This is on a fairly long page with lots of divs
(no tables) that is written in "almost" correct xhtml.
