I have posted on this topic before, and in spite of much advice am still
not able to open the following two sites using Safari and strangely
enough, Opera.

http://mapwow.com/

http://www.wowwiki.com/Portal:Main

The other strange behaviour of both browsers is that on certain sites
that use pop-ups that contain printable material that I want, I can't
copy to the printer.

So at http://www.wowpopular.com/Fire/Mage/Talents hitting the show
button will show a specific build that is printable, but in my case,
won't print. What is does is bring up a blank screen.

The fact that both browsers act the same is, to my mind odd. Is there
something in the settings of the computer that could account for such
strange behaviour.
I'm using a iMac 3.33.GHz Intel core 2 Duo with 4 GB or ram and OS X
10.6.3 and using Safari 4.0.5

I've cleared the cache on both browsers, along with history and checked
the settings. In each case Java is allowed, and for the purposes of
this excercise all cookies.

Any help will be gratefully recieved.

I had no problems opening any of the above references and printing the
one. I use Safari Version 4.0.5 (6531.22.7), on an Intel Mac using Mac
OS X Version 10.6.3. The only difference from what is stated above is
that I have a 2.16 GHz processor and 2 GB of memory.

My suggestion would be to create a bootable backup of your system using
such as SuperDuper! and then use AppZapper to remove the browsers.
Following that I'd one-by-one reinstall the browsers, giving each one a
test. If this doesn't produce improved results you can have the option
of restoring the present state using your bootable backup, following
which you could explore other options.

Both open right up on this MBP (Snow Leopard, Safari 4.0.5).

DNS issue possibly? Maybe try alternate DNS servers (google has free
ones, likewise opendns) and/or flushing your local DNS cache?

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

If you aren't running Little Snitch (or something like it)
<http://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/index.html>
Link is incase you haven't heard of Little Snitch.
And you don't have a corrupted firewall screwing things up,
And you aren't running a bootleg copy of _ANY_ Adobe product,
And you haven't recently updated Adobe Flash, legal or otherwise,
Then you might find some helpful info on Apple's site.

I'm on an Intel Mac, OS 10.5.8, and no problems either.
