When I have web page text I want to print, I select the text I want by bluing the text with my mouse and going to the file and print menu and choosing print "selection". When doing this with Firefox (3.6.15 updated) only part of the text I selected is printed. However when I view the page with IE to print the same selection, the text is printed completely. I use XP pro and my printer is a Canon MX860 multifunction. Canon says the problem is with the browser (Firefox) and I should ask Mozilla for help.

Probably caused by a bug in 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox. Seems to be fixed in 4.0.

Thanks Edmeister, that's logical and I'd like to think it's the solution. But to find out I'd have to download Firefox4 which isn't really ready. It's really in release candidate status at this time so I don't want problems with buggy browsers added to what I have now. Perhaps I should wait until 4 is released? What do you think?
