Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
System is Ubuntu 8.04.1, with all latest updates installed.
I am running a virtual desktop using vnc4server (version 4.1.1+xorg1.
When running Firefox on the virtual desktop, most (but not all!) web pages will not print. Printing to a physical printer results in no output being produced. Printing to PDF results in a PDF file containing a single blank page.
Have verified that the pages print correctly when running on the real display instead of a virtual desktop. Have also verified that the problem exists on both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Ubuntu.
Examples of pages which will not print:

Example of page which does print:

Printing from other applications (e.g. OpenOffice) seems to work fine when running on the virtual desktop.
