The print preview looks correct indeed, however, this is not the issue.
When actually printing the document to a real printer, nothing happens
(not even a blank sheet of paper). However, there is a job (processed)
in the CUPS log, so Firefox sent something to the printer. However,
this something does not cause the printer to actually produce a printed
document.
When actually printing (not preview) to a PostScript file, I get a
mostly empty .ps file with a few comments but no real content. It seems
that Firefox instructs Cairo to do the printing, but leaves out the
final "flush" command or something.
This is Ubuntu hardy, with the latest security and no third-party
packages, printing to a remote CUPS host and a PostScript capable
printer there.
