Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

# lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 8.04
Release:                8.04

# dpkg -l |grep " hp"
ii  hpijs               2.8.2+2.8.2-0ubuntu8    HP Linux Printing and Imaging - 
gs IJS drive
ii  hplip               2.8.2-0ubuntu8          HP Linux Printing and Imaging 
System (HPLIP)
ii  hplip-data  2.8.2-0ubuntu8          HP Linux Printing and Imaging - data 
files

I've a fairly new install of hardy, I've installed all recommended patches as 
of today. I do have a HP printer and I'm using the HPlip printing software 
quiet sucessfully (was really impressed the network scanner facility work out 
of the box!)
However, I'm having a real hard time printing from firefox.

The fonts are on the whole terrible. Scrunched up and overlapping. This 
happened on the release that shipped with hardy as well as the recent update to 
ff3-rc2
What's more, if I print to a PDF file, and open using the standard pdf view it 
still looks awful!
I've tried installing the non-free packages too.. msttcorefonts and not much 
has happened really.

The rendering on the screen looks good for the most part, but the printed (or 
rendered to PDF) version nearly always looks a bit off.. I though the default 
hardy homepage was a good starting point
