When I print a webpage to a postscript file, it comes out garbled. The links are just blue lines and there are random characters throughout the document. Printing to a pdf file works fine. Tested on i386 and x86_64 with firefox-3.0.1-1.el4 and firefox-3.0.1-3.el4
Created attachment 312595 [details] sample output from printing to a ps file
so ggv on rhel 4.7 shows the attached file as garbled. Evince on RHEL 5.2 shows is clearly rendered.
So is the problem simply in ggv on RHEL4? Does the file print to a printer okay?
(In reply to comment #3) > So is the problem simply in ggv on RHEL4? Does the file print to a printer okay? The hard copy looks fine (confirmed by gozen). So firefox doesn't appear to be the culprit. switching to ggv
I'll take a look, but it's more likely to be a ghostscript issue.

seems to be an issue with gs, rather than ff itself. # gs mozilla.ps GNU Ghostscript 7.07 (2003-05-17) Copyright (C) 2003 artofcode LLC, Benicia, CA. All rights reserved.

Setting the font to sans-serif should fix part of this issue, provided liberation-fonts( for courier font) package is installed on system .
hmmm, this issue is only seen when printing to ps, and not to pdf. -- ritz This event sent from IssueTracker by rkhadgar issue 251815
