It's not a cups/gnome-print/cups-pdf issue. The problem is the website
frame. I tested using both print-to-file/PDF and print to cups-pdf in
SeaMonkey, Firefox (3.x and 4.x), Chromium, Epiphany, and Opera (Opera
11 crashes) with pretty much the same results (1 page).

To get all 6/7/8[1] pages: right click on the frame (the one with
'News') and select: This Frame|Open Frame in a New Tab. Now print that
to PDF (either print-to-file/PDF or print to cups-pdf) and you should be
fine.

[1] the number of pages will depend upon which browser you use & their
font settings. But all will contain the full content. I get these
(cups-pdf):
Opera: 6 pages
FireFox 3.6.16/FF4: 7 pages
SeaMonkey 2.1b3: 7 pages
Chrome/Chromium/Ephiphany: doen't have an option to open the frame in
another tab/window. Or, if they do I don't know how to do it.
