           Summary: Epiphany 1.8.0 will not print from my HP LaserJet 1320
                    Postscript printer
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: epiphany-browser
        AssignedTo: seb128 at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: mark.taber at gmail.com
         QAContact: desktop-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com


Platform: Ubuntu Breezy Preview (5.10), on a Pentium 4 3.2GHz workstation (HT
on), 1Gb RAM, 2 160Gb SATA drives.

1) Navigate to a webpage, any webpage, that you would like to print.  I chose
several, including the front page of Ubuntuforums.org, cnn.com, news.google.com.  
2) Set up the proper paper size (US Letter).
3) Choose "Print".
4) Outcome: the following message prints:

<quote>
The Postscript interpreter in your printer is 2014.116
This printout requires at least version 2015 of greater

To make a Unix/Linux Gecko browser (eg: Netscape or Mozilla) produce output that
will work on any level 2 interpreter change the "Print Command" to use
Ghostscript to convert the output down to basic level 2; eg: change the print
command from

    lpr [OPTIONS]

to (all on one line)
   
    gs -q -sDEVICE=pswrite -sOutputFile=- -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH
-dMozConvertedToLevel2=true - | lpr [OPTIONS]

<snip>
</quote>

The actual print command (as displayed in about:config) is "lpr -o
PreFilter=Level1 ${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+"-P$MOZ_PRINTER_NAME"}"
The exact same line in Firefox 1.0.7 prints fine; it does not print in Epiphany
1.8.0; I am not able to print by following the above directions, either.  It's
as though Epiphany is ignoring the command, or the command just doesn't work.
