I’ve noticed the Print Pre­view results in Fire­fox look sloppy com­pared to that of Inter­net Explorer’s print pre­view. Maybe it’s just me but Firefox’s pre­view trunacates text out­side the page bor­ders even if a print style sheet is setup to do just the oppo­site. IE on the other hand (with a print style sheet) dis­plays the text in the pre­view inside the mar­gin boundaries.

For test­ing pur­poses I’ve set up a print style sheet for the main index of kartooner.com (in other words, the front page of this web site and not the archives).

Try this exper­i­ment for me; if you are using Fire­fox go to File > Print Preview and screen cap­ture the results. If per chance you are using Inter­net Explorer please do the same.

Would you be so kind and send your screen capture(s) to erik(at)kartooner(dot)com.

I’ll be sure to dis­play the results and hope­fully I’m not just see­ing things.

I should men­tion that I’m cur­rently using Fire­fox 0.8 (nightly build) on Win­dows XP. Thanks goes to Adam Bramwell for send­ing me the first Fire­fox screenshot.

Like­wise, his results are the same on his nightly release for Win­dows XP. Any­one else get­ting these results? Appar­ently, Nico Kaiser has also received sim­i­lar results with Fire­fox on Debian and Chad Cooper on Win­dows XP. Is this a bug?
