Fixing Firefox Printing Problem with Tables

Submitted by Paul Martin on Tue, 2006-11-07 15:26.

Yesterday, we encountered strange printing issues with Firefox not being willing to send more than the first page of a long table (like a course schedule table) to print. It turns out Gecko browsers don't know what to do with very long floated elements like tables. The solution, which took a bit of searching, is adding "float:none !important;" to the appropriate elements in your print style sheet.

Eric Meyer (who else?) explains the situation very nicely here: CSS Design: Going to Print.

I keep hearing about Firefox printing problems... could you be more specific? I want to be aware of everything because I just got a new printing job and this would help me very much.

Firefox printing problem

Thanks for the effort but this really doesn't work. Take for example, http://yellowpages.stage.mapquest.com/business/az/grand-canyon/holiday-inn-williams/1-204210667/directions/?query=Holiday+Inn

Try saving that page down and then getting the directions table to break on print. Got a similar page to this, and cant make the long table break for print!

HELP! Any ideas in a situation like this?
