I didn't actually try to print it, but print preview worked fine in
2.0.0.5/linux.

Print preview has no problems here.
Tested both Firefox 2.0.0.4/Windows and Firefox 2.0.0.5/Windows.

I'm curious, do you have any extensions installed? If so, can you list
them?
I tried my normal profile, safe-mode, & a clean test profile, and each
time FF locked up when trying to do Print Preview, using FF 2.0.0.5 &
WinXP Home SP2.
While using my test profile, I tried both the 'Shrink to fit' and '100%'
scale settings, but it made no difference, FF still locked up.

It might possibly be printer driver related.
Test it with another printer driver -- such as "Generic Text only"***.
IME Firefox remembers which printer it last used, so simply
changing your default printer is not enough.
*** IMO "Generic Text only" is always useful to have around,
for converting anything to plain text using "print to file".

The main page hangs for me as well. Both Print and Print Preview. I don't
have problems anywhere else. Strange. I'm running FF 2.0.0.5 on Win2k SP4.

Yeah, printer driver was going to be my next thought. I've seen odd
problems before, with different printers/drivers, although this is the
first one I've seen that locks up FF.
After setting up the Generic/Text Only" printer, it does work. It will
save the page text to a file, although formatted rather funky. Thanks
for the tip, I didn't know about that one.
I don't know if that will accomplish what the OP wants, or if he's
looking for the full page, with graphics.
Furthermore, after "printing" to the generic printer, then going to
Print Preview, it works. The page displays as you would expect, with
full graphics. However, clicking the print button, and then changing
the printer back to my normal printer, it again locks up when I try to
print.
I'm using a Brother MFC-5460CN. I wonder what the OP is using, as well
as you, since it prints ok for you?

I was able to solve my needs by switching to Opera. But that problem
and solution indicated that I post here in case someone who should
know about it would read it.

At work, I have a HP laser. At home I have an Epson stylus 800. Both
locked up Firefox, neither locked up Opera.

Firefox locks up by pre-viewing the page. Selected printer (if it
really matters with Preview) is a Canon iR 3100 color laser/copier.
