I've tried from both Firefox and Chromium so far. I've also managed to 
turn on debugging re my printing attempts so have a far more detailed 
log to work with. Not sure if it went thru to the list as it may have been 
just a tad big :( Something I came across out there that for some the 
default behaviour for cups was to limit to a single page. Just looking 
back over the more detailed log file (dunno where to put it for the list) 
but there are heaps of jobs being loaded from cache (548 of em). Just 
tried printing a large text file to pdf from gedit and that worked just 
fine and still just a single page from the browsers so am guessing the 
prob is possibly a setting related to pring from the browsers?
