Description Jani-Matti Hätinen 2009-09-09 00:04:46 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Printing webpages is completely broken in khtml and has been for the lifetime of KDE4.

I just tested it on a few pages and couldn't even get a Google search results page to print properly.

I'll attach a few pdf examples.

When using the webkit-kpart, printing from konqueror works just fine, so this is a khtml specific issue.

For me, it looks like this happens on pages with forms. The following HTML will expose the broken behaviour when printing (including printing to PDF):

<html>
 <head/>
 <body>
  <p>before form</p>
  <form>
   <input type="text">
  </form>
  <p>after form</p>
 </body>
</html>

The 'before form' text does not appear on the printed output.
