Package: firefox Version: 1.5.dfsg-2 Severity: important Firefox is one step ahead on the road of getting printing completely wrong. Now, it pops up a dialog which supposedly should get the printer's profile from CUPS, but screws that up. Royally. And I cannot even fix this dumbass software by telling it to call xpp instead of lpr (xpp does things right).
The result of the "new printer support" is that NONE of the printer's capabilities are available since firefox screws that up, BUT now firefox refuses to print at all just because my printer has a4 paper and I cannot get even the fucking postscript/generic driver (which should support ALL paper sizes, damn it!) to work. [EMAIL PROTECTED] PoS software thinks that even postscript/generic must support only letter-sized paper! And the Debian paperconfig default in this machine is a4 just to add insult to the injury. I am not sure if you guys are aware, but letter size is NOT a good way to try to print on a4 paper (it causes information loss), which is used in most of the world. If firefox is going to pretend it knows about printing, it must get at least THAT much right. Please remove all "intelligent printing" crap from firefox until it is ready for use. Let us use xpp or kprint or something else that actually works for now. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14.3-debian4+bluesmoke+atapassthru+lm85 Locale: LANG=pt_BR.ISO-8859-1, LC_CTYPE=pt_BR.ISO-8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages firefox depends on: ii debianutils 2.15.2 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii fontconfig 2.3.2-1.1 generic font configuration library ii libatk1.0-0 1.10.3-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.3.5-9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcairo2 1.0.2-3 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.3.2-1.1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.1.10-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.0.2-5 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.8.4-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.8.9-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libidl0 0.8.5-1 library for parsing CORBA IDL file ii libjpeg62 6b-11 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libpango1.0-0 1.10.1-2 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-5 PNG library - runtime ii libstdc++6 4.0.2-5 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Window System protocol client li ii libxcursor1 1.1.3-1 X cursor management library ii libxext6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxft2 2.1.7-1 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxi6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Window System Input extension li ii libxinerama1 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Window System multi-head display ii libxp6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Window System printing extension ii libxrandr2 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Window System Resize, Rotate and ii libxrender1 1:0.9.0-2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii psmisc 21.8-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-9 compression library - runtime firefox recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
