3.4.something does certainly not.

Yes, let's be fair: each time you start firefox for the first time, it
defaults to printing on "letter". Each time you use a printer for the
first time, it's set to "letter". Each time you press ^P, it's set to
the printer you don't want to use. It does indeed remember the last used
paper size after you've selected the printer. I have however ended up
with "letter" postscript so often, I have no confidence in firefox
unless I check *each time* that the paper is correctly selected. KDE
works out by itself that it's running in "New Zealand" and all I have to
do is nothing.

No feature for print scaling in FF, but that's a different issue.
Konqueror doesn't have one either.

For someone like you it should be clear that replacing software
nillywilly on your computer is typically a bad idea, and advantages to
be gained by doing so are traded for disadvantages elsewhere, i.e.
something breaks somewhere else. And while you're at dumba*** comments,
my Linux at least boots with a USB gimmick plugged in - yours was last
week found not to.

Yes, but not practical.

True :)
Goes to show that the browser situation still leaves a lot of things to
be desired. Whether this is Linux-specific shall remain open at this
point...
