As this would be of interest to others users of nvu, I should have
posted it to the list in the first place.

I just checked your Debian Repository page and it still 'print
Preview's' as 1 page, as do most of the nvu.com pages. I have not had
this problem with Firefox on any other web sites so I have to assume
(bad) it's a problem with nvu. I haven't finished readint the helpn
manual do it may be covered it there. The printing of the manul is
complete but, as fas as firefox is concerned, it overwrites some of
the text with the "NVU Help Center" Header. Odd that that hasn't
been reported.
I do recall there were some Microsoft related pages that exibited
this behavior as well but nvu uses HTML-4.1 so I didn't expect this
behavior with it.

I have no problems with the Bluefish editor or Firefox so thought
there might be a setting in nvu for it. If so I am still looking.

I have subscribed to the nvu devel list so will persue this issue
that and report back.
Thanks for your time.
