Yesterday I tried to convert some HTML tables to PDF (via cups-pdf virtual printer) to read them on my lBook v3.

As many others before me I stumbled upon Firefox bug which prevents correct printing of long tables.

Searching high and low with Google I managed to find a (somewhat usable) solution here.

From further tests, you can see that the bug happens when BOTH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS are respected:

A) The page contains an <h1> title
B) The table in the page contains a <caption>

Removing <caption> solved my problem.
