[Bug 238719] Re: printing hardy home page from firefox to pdf or hpijs looks awful, scrunched fonts

[cpitchford]

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.
