Many thanks for a precise and helpful response.
Mea Culpa! I should have run a "find" on "print". And the obit page was
a poor example.
My Firefox 3.6 -still- won't print, say, page 1 (only) from:
http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-202672702/h_d2/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10053&langId=-1&keyword=corn%20gluten&storeId=10051
per the original problem description. But IE8 will.
If someone running a newer version of FF can print page 1 from the above URL,
please let me know and I'll install a newer version. I've had this problem
for months.
Thanks,
David
