Re: the long slips, usually the culprit there is that you need to turn off the headers and footers on the firefox prints.<div><br></div><div><meta charset="utf-8"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 13.3333px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 24px; "><p style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; ">

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">First thing I would try is printing from notepad, once you get that behaving right (to the slip printers ... using the proper drivers) next thing would be opening a file in your browser and tweaking the settings for margins etc until that prints right.<br>
<br>
Once you can print nicely from your browser the only thing you might want to do is add or remove some <p> tags in the slip templates so they print out right.<br>
