I had the same problem.  Looking at their HTML, I noticed that paragraphs
were on single lines.  I downloaded the file (plus the few graphics that
were important) and edited it by breaking those long (ASCII) lines into
shorter ones.  After that rather annoying operation, the page printed
without problem.  There might be a better solution but that one worked for me.
