[Bug 780638] Re: cups-pdf and file print: pdf/ps feature outdated

[marcus aurelius]

actually i'm not interested in background images.

the issue is not page content, rather how the page is converted to pdf.
i'll see if i have any of the pages still and upload them for you to
see.

i'm not sure how cups-pdf converts webpages to pdf, but i suspect it may
be the culprit.

pdf creator (available for windoze only) has no problem printing
webpages to pdf.
