Can't Print via Yahoo Mail

Just upgraded to Version 10.51 Build 3315 on a Win32 using Windows XP. I'm able to print websites with no problem, but I use Yahoo Mail and when I want to print it cannot establish a connection with the printer. The dialog comes up, but it is in an endless loop. I can't print anything else because it says it has to finish; but it won't delete either. I have to exit the browser entirely to stop the printer.

The only way I can print via Yahoo Mail is to use Firefox. It doesn't matter if it is new or old Yahoo mail...same bug.

I see that others here have similar printing problems with this version of Opera I have no problem printing regular web pages using the menu, but if I right click on the page and ask for the printer it say sit cannot establish a connection.

I have found that some pages will print correctly if you select "fit to width" then deselect it again and also having to go to select print options and reduce the 'scale to print' to 65%.

Another work around is go to print preview then from the tool bar select tools-preferences-advanced-content-style options-presentation modes. Then select page style sheet then deslect it again then I can get two pages of what I am trying to print of a multi page report.

The endless loop stops but you can only get two pages most of the time.

My only guess at this point is one small character of code is missing or extra and by doing this it retrieves code from another location that overwrites it. Possible a buffer?

Anyway it is somewhere to look.

Thanks! I've already used the fit to width for print preview, which finally showed me the entire document...Great tips!
