How to circumvent?

After fiddling around with printer-specific styles there has been one issue I have not been able to solve: Mozilla somehow messes up the print preview when it encounters a hyperlink inside a paragraph.

The preview looks fine up to the point of a hyperlink, where you'll see weird margins, which sometimes seem to be negative (you can see words running through eachother).

I am not the only one with this problem: I've been trying print previews on Alistapart's "going to print"-article and guess what... It looks wacky at best.

I have not been able to test the print itself (bad luck: my printer is out of ink :(), but from the looks of the preview... I fear the worst.

Is there a way to fix this problem in CSS?

I've printed tons of articles off ALA, and the links have never been smooshed. Actually, they print in a slightly smaller, bodled font, in a light blue color. At least on my printer, they did.
This leads me to believe it might just be a rendering problem in the browser's print preview, and not how the media styles are actually applied when sent to the printer.
