Print problems in firefox are usually caused by floats extending over
a page, in your case you've also got your div#contentnews set to
overflow hidden and i'm wondering if that's causing an problem as
well.

As you've removed your left and right columns in your print
stylesheet, why not remove the width float and overflow on
div#contentnews? Alternatively you could add the following rule in
your print stylesheet.

div#contentnews:after {
 content:".";
  display:block;
  height:0;
  clear:both;
  visibility:hidden;
}

I've found that's a pretty reliable way of fixing float clearing
issues in firefox.
