That's my experience in printing from Firefox too - a single sheet with 
one line. (Doesn't it reformat the map to fill the page as it would on 
screen, hence making this inevitable?)

You could do an @media print in the CSS and set the attribution to 
absolute positioning top and left some suitable value to avoid intruding 
on the image much.

[There really ought to be a name for these single sheets that so often 
are just one line of legal stuff (or even "save the environment, don't 
print this") - how about "dregsheet"]
