I have a recurring problem with some websites. When I try to print to pdf, it prints only 1 page. How do I resolve this?

Welcome to Mac-Forums,

It will help us a lot if you could provide a little more info on what browser you are using and what Apple product you are using along with what OS is running on it.
Helps us to help you.

Cheers

Oh, OK. It's Firefox v3.6.13 running in a desktop Mac OSX v10.6.6. I was trying to print to pdf using the usual Mac print function from the pulldown menu. Works most times, but sometimes not. Do let me know if this is not enough information...

Not printing to printer, does it make any difference? In any case, it's a shared printer - Toshiba, I think. Dunno what model.

What happens when you go to print and then preview?

Click the down arrow (1) and make sure that "All" is selected in the pages section (2).

Thanks, guys, for all the responses.

- example of website: Earthship Systems - Earthship Biotecture
- print and then preview: It prints (shows) 3 pages, 1 header with mainly empty page, then a main page with partial content, then end or last page (pdf file attached)
- click the down arrow (1): sorry, no arrow. No options. The full options are available in Word and other applications, but apparently not Firefox. Dunno why (jpg file attached).

Hope this helps.

Maybe I missed it after running through the thread quickly but do you have the same issue when using Safari?

Yo, slydude, hi5. It worked perfectly in Safari. Dunno why I didn't try it before. So, problem solved, kinda. But I like Firefox. Anything I can do to solve this with Firefox?
