[gentoo-user] Low print quality in Firefox

2011-05-07 Thread Alan Mackenzie
Hi, Gentoo. Start the up to date version of Firefox, 3.6.17. Print something textual (e.g. a piece of Gentoo documentation) out. When I do this I get an emulation of an 8-pin dot matrix printer from the early 1980s. Does anybody else fare better? -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
