I think x11-fonts/webfonts may be referenced as msttcorefonts
in other distributions. I can't explain why, but try to install the
print/gtklp port and change the print command in firefox to
gtklp.
Installed webfonts and gtklp and restarted x and no go still.
:( One thing I did notice is that all the others go to a normal print
window, but the two browsers go to some custom printing screen and say
something about "postscript/printer_name" instead of the normal KDE cups
installed printer. Would that possibly cause part of the issue?
Firefox isn't a KDE app, so by default is uses /usr/bin/lpr unless you
specifically set it to use another print interface. Unfortunately
Firefox 1.5's whole printing system is pretty buggy right now - almost
to the point of unusability on my system. If it was working properly
you'd go File->Print select the printer you want to edit, click
Properties and set the command to either /usr/local/bin/lpr (for the lpr
interface to CUPS) or kprinter (for the KDE interface to CUPS).
Unfortunately this official method is not working for me. I've had to
edit the prefs.js directly in order to maintain printing ability.
HTH,
Micah
