I've made a huge error in my report!! Sorry!!! I am infact running firefox 3.0-rc1 that was released a day or so ago. I'm only using packages from the standard repositories and have only upgraded packages using "Update Manager" The problem with printing happened prior to the release of rc1 and infact has not changed since I updated:
# dpkg -l |grep firefox ii firefox 3.0~rc1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 meta package for the popular mozilla web bro ii firefox-3.0 3.0~rc1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 safe and easy web browser from Mozilla ii firefox-3.0-gnome-support 3.0~rc1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 Support for Gnome in Mozilla Firefox ii firefox-gnome-support 3.0~rc1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 meta package pointing to the latest gnome-su Strangely enough, on a friends 8.04 desktop system using a Samsung CLP-300 he is not experiencing these problems when printing to the printer or to the PDF device. If I use "print to file" and select PDF as the output format, the file is just as bad as if I had printed to the PDF printer device. I'm guessing this is a font issue rather than a printer issue and assuming Firefox doesn't interact with print components such as HPijs directly it must be something outside the print environment? Either way, I'm definately using a stable released version of firefox and not a testing release. ** Changed in: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- printing hardy home page from firefox to pdf or hpijs looks awful, scrunched fonts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/238719 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
