Subject: [Bug 228215] Re: [hardy] firefox cannot print web pages

I should add that it's not all webpages that refuse to print. Some work
fine (for example, the Launchpad pages), while others don't (Ubuntu
homepage).

I haven't observed a problem with gedit, but our users probably don't
print from it much. I'll check if that program has a similar problem.

Status in “firefox-3.0” source package in Ubuntu: Confirmed

Bug description:
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Firefox 3.0 beta 5 bundled with Hardy Heron 8.04 cannot print web pages. The print preview displays how it will be printed, number of pages etc. Clicking print causes the printer to indicate that the output is being sent to the printer by flashing a light on the printer. This flashing stops after a few seconds (on my HP Laserjet 4, please don't laugh. It has been working flawlessly for the last 14 years with only two minor repairs I did myself), and nothing happens. I can print from OpenOffice and other applications. What gives? Thanks.
