Comment 18 for bug 802942

@till-kamppeter As of Firefox 47.0, ubuntu 16.04, this is still not fixed.

During the update (coming from 14.04) I got asked via cups configuration if I wanted to opt-in for pre-filtering via cups. Which I opted in, in the hope that pdfs get rendered in a way my old printer is capable to understand. Still, it does not work.

I still think it's all about the ancient libcairo version FF is shipped with.

There is a FF compiler option --enable-system-cairo which enables the cairo version ubuntu comes shipped with. Would you like to give it a try?
