On Ubuntu 10.10, Firefox with this patch (and
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=502460>, of course)
applied still passes PS instead of PDF to CUPS, so probably either CUPS
or gtk2 on Ubuntu lies. Would it be better to offer a preference to
override detection and enforce PDF?

I get perfect prints of
<http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/asa/archives/2010/12/new_firefox_4_betas.html>
out of my HP inkjet printer only with a dirty private hack when I swap
kOutputFormatPS and kOutputFormatPDF in

format = (gtk_printer_accepts_ps(mGtkPrinter)) ? nsIPrintSettings::kOutputFormatPS
                                               : nsIPrintSettings::kOutputFormatPDF;
