Screenshot showing firefox page beside postscript page

Html page used to demonstrate the problem.
It's the top half of a tax form; all personal information has been cut off.

Postscript output from firefox showing mushed-together letters.
It's unreadable.
I had this problem printing my tax forms last year as well, but I didn't report it then because I thought it was just me. That was Fedora 6. Since then, I bought a new laptop, and installed Fedora 7. This year, I was surprised to see this bug was still present. Argh! I converted the postscript to pdf and sent that to my wife's windows computer; the PDF had the same spacing problem as the postscript. I ended up sending the html files to my wife so she could print them using Windows XP and Internet Explorer. That looked perfect. Hope this works out and the bug gets forwarded upstream! Linux must rule! Thanks! Can you reproduce it with upstream binary from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/? Created attachment 304525 [details]
Print works fine for me in FF3 Beta 5.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Since there are insufficient details provided in this report for us to investigate the issue further, and we have not received feedback to the information we have requested above, we will assume the problem was not reproducible, or has been fixed in one of the updates we have released for the reporter's distribution. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade to the latest update of their distribution, and if this issue turns out to still be reproducible in the latest update, please reopen this bug with additional information. Closing as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. |
