Firefox "print" prints some text on top of other text. How can I fix it?
I want to print a webpage with a travel itinerary on it. The itinerary is quite long, exceeds the page height and overflows onto the next page. Unfortunately the information below the itinerary is then printed on top of the itinerary information on the overflow page.
I have tried the same page in Chrome, Safari and IE 10 and it prints correctly in all of them.
I use a css (print.css media='print') to control some of the print output.
Can anyone help please?

Hi,
I managed to find a fix on this site: http://new.kfb.localhost:8888/reise.php?reise=67552
I added
overflow: visible !important
in the print stylesheet to the class that was causing the problem and now it looks just fine :)

Hi midnig-
I found this article on troubleshooting print issues:
I see that you have covered some of the basic troubleshooting tips- but you might try resetting the printer. Here are some other suggestions:
- If you have made changes to Advanced font settings like increasing the minimum/default font size then try the default minimum setting "none" and the default font size 16 in case the current setting is causing problems.
- Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none) Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.
- Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above" It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but to use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with text not being displayed properly.
- You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately resetting the printer did not work.
The font settings were also already as suggested by you.
Perhaps my problem may be clearer if look at the site where I experience it: http://www.kreuzfahrtberater.de/reise.php?reise=67552
If you go File -> Print and then print it as a pdf, you will notice on page 2 that the text overlaps at the top of the page. I've also attached a screenshot of the relevant part of the page.
Thanks m

I'm glad you were able to find a solution!
Yes, overflow:auto strikes again... hopefully that will be fixed some day!
