printing anything (webpage, pdf, form) disappears into ether but nor error msg and no print

[jrad]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I tried to print a web order form on metrarail.com. It appeared to go to the printer but never made it. I then tried to print a pdf from the same site. Again, it dissapeared, but didn't print. Then I tried printing the ubuntu home page. Same thing. I downloaded Opera for ubuntu 8.10 and all three things printed properly. Other apps print correctly. The problem is only with ff 3.0.5

As best you can tell, is this a duplicate of Bug 309314? There is a workaround and proposed fix to be found there.

This looks like a duplicate of Bug #77786 to me, I can't print the Ubuntu homepage either. It's not a dupe of #309314 IMHO.

Does Anyone still have this bug?
