The url above does not print well. It in fact does not page wrap properly
resulting in most content that exceeds a page to be lost.

Specifically, the content related to the LayerObj, MapObj, and the ShapeObj are
all truncated.

This is happening in Firefox ver. 1.5.0.6

each page has a little pdf icon that you can use to print.  

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/phpmapscript-class/html2pdf  for
that one

Since you have a print button, and it does not print correctly, I think you need
to hold it or fix it. The fix is to set up a separate css like:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="print.css" media="print" />

that will flow the text across the page breaks. I can take a look at the page
and the css and offer some concrete suggestions if you need them.

The pdf works for printing, but it is not intuitive that that is the work around
to this problem.

I propose to either remove the "print" icon to avoid this confusion, or hand
this off to someone with time to deal with it.  Plone does have separate CSS for
printing but the restructure text transformer isn't handling the "print" case
evidently.  The upgrade sandbox <http://shell.osgeo.org:8080/ms_plone> should
also be tested in case things have changed since going to the latest plone version.
