Problem with preview and print from Ebay.com
I have "always" had problems with the printout from the Ebay auctions site. www.ebay.com.The item description free text field on each auction is warped and unreadable on the printout.
Do you have the same problem? Is it my PC, Opera, or is it Ebay?

Problem with printing is on every site for a long time.
Even this page looks ugly in preview and on the paper.
Here is print result from Opera: http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/-15112011-105956.php
And from Firefox: http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/-15112011-110037.php
I have a question to Opera developers: Are you going to fix this some day?
UPD: Sorry, my post is related to Linux version.

But it's definitely a valid complaint for the Windows version(s) as well -- last week when I was needing to print airline boarding passes before heading for the airport, Opera v11.52 running on my WinXP Pro SP3 road laptop crashed repeatedly each and every time I made the attempt (three, as I recall). I'm afraid the last crash-report submittal commentary was rather heatedly pointing out (in CAPITAL LETTERS to whoever at Opera reads those things) the incredibly poor performance of this otherwise-great browser in that specific aspect with a rather direct and blunt statement to "get the d*** thing fixed!", so apols to the person that might have caught that bit of over-the-top frustration.
I then switched to Firefox (the new version 8) and had no problems printing the boarding passes from United Airlines' website in just a very few seconds, and did make the flight okay. This isn't the only instance or website where printing is a serious problem in Opera, regardless of whether or not the site's "print" button to reformat an article for printing (if offered or available) has been toggled.
Perhaps someone might take the position that nothing in this electronic age should ever be printed and thus resources and energy conserved, but that is neither 100% practical nor 100% advisable in 100% of all possible circumstances.

But even in the "post-paper" world we need proper printing.
I only print to pdf, and have big problems with how printing is handled.
WIWIWYSIWYG
What I Want Is What You See Is What You Get.
Not a reformatted page meant to save printer cartridge or what it is for.
Instead of using the "Print" function instead I'm left with using PRT SCRN and saving images of the web pages. That is a hassle with bigger pages.
My suggestion.
Page -> Save as -> PDF/PNG (in addition to mht and html)
