I see this too. Running Thunderbird 1.0 on FC3 64bit having the same issue although not only the printer but also the print preview cuts off the right margin. Apparently this only happens for plain text messages using the fixed width font. The workaround is to set the Plain Text Messages settings in Edit>Options>Display to Variable Width font. This screws up formatting, but it prints. See http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=232221 for details. This is listed in the Mozilla Bugzilla also: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=280059. The bug seems to be limited to Fedora and Mandrake. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Opera/7.54 (X11; Linux i686; U) [en] Description of problem: When printing an email, the postscript generated by thunderbird does not respect the margin settings. The printed page is cut-off on the right side. Oddly, the print preview looks fine. Of course, the postscript output does not look anything like the print preview. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): thunderbird-0.9-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. click File/Page Setup/Margins & Header/Footer 2. select margins 3. click File/Print.../Print Actual Results: Text overlaps in places and is cut-off on the right. Expected Results: properly rendered postscript Additional info: Using ghostscript-7.07-33
