I guess that Cairo is part of the Gecko engine which then is used by firefox and thunderbird.
My Firefox 40.0.3 comes shipped with Gecko/20100101 according to about:support tab: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:40.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/40.0 which basically explains why cairo is so old (as said, cairo 1.9.5 dates to ~2009/2010). To sum it up, either firefox needs to get a recent gecko engine and/or the gecko engine used for firefox needs to have a recent cairo version. If that does not solve the problem (maybe mozilla just will not fix it for years), then cups-filters comes into play. Same applies for thunderbird. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/802942 Title: printing PDFs (and other complex documents) from GTK applications fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/802942/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
