I may have to use that at some point.  Going to save for later.  I do
use Seamonkey.  Right now, I've found a couple ways to work around this,
for the most part.  Sometimes, I just copy and paste smaller parts of
the page and other times I use methods from other post.  I've done quite
a lot of printing so far and am working on a couple other things at the
moment.  Still wish it would work like it did with older versions. 

Thanks much for the ideas.
