Hi,

After upgrading to the latest FF in the office, we noticed that one
specific HTML page started causing "incorrect page size" error on the
printer as if the page size selected was different than the page we
actually loaded. But that's not the case. Also, it gives the error at
every 6th page. Pushing the continue button on the printer bypasses
the error and prints another 6 pages. I changed the printer, got the
same result. I believe this problem is caused by the combination of
Firefox 3.5 and the HTML page in question. Internet Explorer prints
the page OK. The page in question displays records in TABLEs divided
by DIVs which gives page break after.

e.g.

<TABLE><TR><TD>..</TD></TR></TABLE>
<TABLE><TR><TD>..</TD></TR></TABLE>
<TABLE><TR><TD>..</TD></TR></TABLE>
<div style="page-break-after: always"></div>
<!--NEXT PAGE-->
<TABLE><TR><TD>..</TD></TR></TABLE>
<TABLE><TR><TD>..</TD></TR></TABLE>
<TABLE><TR><TD>..</TD></TR></TABLE>
<div style="page-break-after: always"></div>
<!--NEXT PAGE-->

etc.

HTML page is pretty simple, and it hasn't been changed for a long
time. Each record does not exceed a page. Print Preview displays the
pages with no problem. The CSS included in the page has margin: 0;
padding: 0; and no negative values. We are using Vista Business as the
OS.

Any thoughts?

Thank you
