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? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

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.
