I can see if it I make my browser window tall enough. It's not a problem
as such, it just what happens when you try and lay out the page for a
printer.

Basically it will shrink the image until the width fits on the page and
then if there isn't enough space underneath for the text it will have to
flow onto a new page. I don't think there is much we can do about that.

What you really want is a "shrink page to fit" option in Firefox, but
it doesn't look it has one - it can shrink the width to fit but not the
height.
