Firefox needs to have an editable print preview.  I believe that pre-print modification is a high-demand feature.  Have you not copied a web page into word to remove some annoying elements of a page without a printable version option?  Just some primitive editing functionality must be added.

The time I waste trying to print things in Firefox -- or flipping over to Safari just to print some pages -- has just about driven me to give up on using Firefox altogether.

I just use Firebug to add the 'display:none;' CSS style to any element I don't want printed (ex, the right/left menu columns when I only want the body). This is fairly easy once done a few times. Some day it would be nice if the paid geniuses would fix their page generators to add properly designed print.css files but until then, folks, we're pretty much on our own. BTW, gpc, I found Safari 4 tying up CPU resources so I switched to Opera 10. Seems to work as well without all the CPU excitement. For reference: Win XP MCE SP3 & FF 3.5.9
