This is a pity because in my ind the printing issues are one of the main
reasons for the average man in the street not yet being compelled to
switch to ubuntu. The fact that printing from a  browse doesn't work,
images don't print easily, and that fonts get distorted and mis-spaced
when printing is a big deal for people who rely heavily on printing.

Does no one have the inclination, aptitude and capacity to take this on?
Please...

Thanks
