Thanks, I did try this but it didn't seem to help :( I'm sure it's some Mozilla-specific issue I just can't find out what!

Cups / Mozilla printing issues.
Hi, I'm not sure if this isn't a bit off-topic but I hope somebody might know the answer anyway. I'm running 5.1-R and I've cups-lpr (and all the other necessary stuff installed). When I print from mozilla-firebird (mozilla-gtk2 it uses, afaik) it does actually work but it's printing is in what appears to be Courier New or some other fixed-width font, instead of the font displayed on the page. I know I can print TT-fonts because I've printed stuff from AbiWord2 without issues. Furthermore the text is all ``squished''. Any hints for sorting this behaviour would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Cups / Mozilla printing issues.
Lewis, A few weeks ago, there was a troublesome version of ghostscript-gnu in the ports, which corrupted my output as you describe (I have an HP laser printer). I think it was version 7.07_1; I had to downgrade to 7.05 for getting rid of the problem. The latest port has solved the problem. So if you are running the troublesome version, try upgrading your ports collection and your ghostscript-gnu.
