Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
When printing a web page in Firefox/Swiftweasel 3.0b4 in fully up to date Hardy as of 27-Mar-2008, no matter which printer or PPD I choose for that printer, there is a gap of extra white space between characters near the right margin of the page (see attached output of printing to the CUPS-PDF "printer").
This does not occur when printing from Gedit or OpenOffice Writer, for example, but I have noticed other issues when printing from evince: although the on screen display is correct, the printed document will have underlined text shifted over or the entire word of a header shifted over (I mention this, even though I'm reporting a firefox bug, just in case the issues are somehow related).

Description: Ubuntu hardy (development branch)
Release: 8.04
Confirmed; Wikipedia provides a very easily duplicatable test case for this problem.
To anyone in the know: FF3b4 also sometimes overlaps text near the right, "squashing" it together. Would this be the same bug in terms of spacing, or are they two separate, non-related issues, the latter of which being one that a new report needs to be created for?
