On many websites, I can't seem to get a decent printout. For example, my
local paper has a searchable obituaries page, and I got 60 hits on my
last search, but it would only print the first page. I can see the rest
on screen, but I can't get them out on paper.
<http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/montgomerynews/obituary-search.aspx?page=1&affiliateid=2762&countryid=1&daterange=88888&stateid=49&startdate=20110116&enddate=20110210&entriesperpage=50>
This returns 60 hits, of which the first 50 are displayed, but only
seven will print. In fact, in print preview, the first page is the page
header with no content, the second page is the first page of content,
and the third page is the page footer. That's it. The other 43 hits have
vanished.
I've tried this with several different printers, including Adobe
Acrobat, and they're all the same. Mozilla and SeaMonkey seem to think
the second page is 10 feet tall and print only the first 11 inches.
Needless to say, it prints fine in Internet Exploiter (except the header
page, which is the same in both).
Any ideas? I hate wasting ink and paper on ads, and I really hate having
to switch browsers whenever I want to print something.
I went to the page that you indicated was giving you problems and as I
almost always do with web pages, I high-lighted only what I would want
to print (just the NHL stats) and did a <Ctrl> C. I then opened an
editor and did a <Ctrl> V and printed the text from the editor. Edit,
copy and paste would work just as well.

I have been doing this for years to save on paper and ink and have found
it is particularly helpful using SeaMonkey. I see no sense in printing
all the adds and crapola that accompany the data on who knows how many
pieces of paper, most of which end up in the waste basket anyway.
But as many indicated, SeaMonkey's printing capabilities leave a lot to
be desired. Some suggested spoofing the site into thinking that you are
running Internet Explorer, bad advice for two reasons: <1> The site may
use HTML code that is non standard and would not display properly in
SeaMonkey and <2> why encourage site programmers to code only for
Internet Explorer?
