I've been using Mozilla 1.1.a, and have not seen this problem myself.
However, I
have seen a couple other printing-from-browser problems.

1) In Netscape 4.61, for some time I have found that when I do a print
job from NS
-- the current web page or some document -- I get the waiting clock
icon until the
job has fully printed. All keyboard or mouse response becomes to no
avail: can't
look at an alternate page, switch to another app., etc. while printing
is in
progress. Which printer has the print job does not seem to matter. I
don't recall
for sure, but think this was very likely not always the case. If that
is true,
there must be some tuning / settings issue involved. Suggestions
welcome.

Oh, one other thing: if there are two or more Netscape windows loaded,
I can't even
bring up the window from which printing is requested. This also was
probably not
always the case. Re this situation, I'm mostly running W4 @FP-9, with
the next to
last drop of NS 4.61.

2) Just like I cannot seem to arrange a cache behavior for Mozilla
duplicating the
one in NS 4.61 (*discrete* saving of sound or graphics files), I also
really don't
like the divergent printing behavior of Mozilla. This is particularly
true in
regard to Frames, which print in a lousy and haphazard fashion. You
get a nonstop
string of *page elements* rather than pages. Most graphics print out
as solid
black shapes. Folks, this really bites, and sends me right back to
4.61 for print
jobs ! Also, I find the discrete saving of many page elements in
various places --
out of which a re-displayed file is apparently re-assembled on the
fly, to be
exceedingly lame !!

Is there no way to force a "Do Like 4.61" behavior upon Mozilla, for
these things ?

You're probably going to send me to the Mozilla List(s), or somesuch .
. . . If
necessary, I'll take it up there.
