I just pulled in epiphany and it gives the same truncated text behavior as iceweasel. the truncation with gnucash is somewhat different, but may be related. So that's three apps printing html with truncated text and at least two of them (epiphany and gnucash) use libgnomeprint. and iceweasel is using gtk and maybe they've got gnome printing statically linked in? or use gnome printing to build their print enging? (thus not showing the dependency). anyway, that's all I've got. A
