| Description: |
Hi,
I've noticed that with Firefox 3, output on my venerable PostScript printer uses the wrong fonts.
A garbled bitmapped font is being substituted. If I revert to Firefox 2, printed output is fine.
Haven't seen this with other apps.
Seen with a networked cups driven printer, specifically GCC Technologies (ancient LaserWriter II compatible device). The remote printer server is 7.1-PRERELEASE w/cup 1.3.9. Connection is lpt0 (centronics).

Try printing to a PostScript problem with Firefox 3.
Firefox 2 does not have this problem.

Guys, a month just isn't a realistic turnaround time where no commercial support model exists, and where the workaround involves reconfiguring the X server. The issue is still present, and other people have reported it. I haven't had a chance to try the suggested workaround simply due to a lack of free time, and my workaround has been to print from Firefox 2. Thanks for looking. | |

Finally, I got a chance to look at this in more detail. I updated to the latest firefox-3.0.2,1 binary package for FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE, and tried the suggested "XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps" workaround. The garbled printed glyph bug still exists. The symptoms are similar to these postings and bug reports, although these are for Windows: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=454532#c3 http://fixunix.com/mozilla/539574-firefox-3-0-3-vs-seamonkey-1-1-9-a.html I tried printing to a non-Postscript printer (Epson CX3650). The problem is still present there, which suggests the root cause may be in the Firefox 3 print renderer. I don't see this issue with Firefox 2. Both appear to use the same versions of the installed Pango libraries. I am using a CUPS networked print server to connect my printers. The page I've been using to demonstrate this is http://www.thepensionservice.gov.uk/ although the problem exists with all sites regardless of text encoding. The page looks just fine in "Print Preview", but, print it, and the glyphs are unreadable. | |

It sounds like it's not a FreeBSD speific bug. It will be good if one of us reply a comment in Mozilla bugzilla (#54532)? I can do it for you if you are still busy.

FYI I do not see this issue in Gentoo Linux 2008.0 with the latest binary snapshot. I haven't looked under the hood in detail to see how their installation differs. | |

I have setup share printer in her Vista. I had to update gutenprint to 5.2.3 to get Epson Stylus NX400 driver. It seems work in print test so far. I am going to install Firefox 3.0.5, and will trying to reproduce your problem and try to see if I can get it fixes. I do not know if update of gutenprint will causing the different result, but I hope not.

I have went to http://www.thepensionservice.gov.uk/ and I can't reproduce it. It prints fine, but it does not print image in middle that has lizard or some kind of repitle. Maybe it's normal as it's different from Opera. But both Firefox 2 and Firefox 3 show the same result. Are your Firefox 3 in non-english (custom LANG/locale)? Mine locale looks like this: --------------------------- # locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= --------------------------- Are you using gutenprint? I don't know if it has to do with gutenprint update has to do with it. I only have updated gutenprint-base and gutenprint-cups in case if you want to give it a shot. I do not think it will changing your result since print works in your Firefox 2, but never know. http://people.freebsd.org/~mezz/diff/gutenprint-base.diff http://people.freebsd.org/~mezz/diff/gutenprint-case.diff BTW: Forgot to say, I am using MarcusCom CVS that has newer GTK+, GNOME, cairo and stuff. Probably some of these ports have fixed Firefox 3's print problem? I don't have any 'normal' system that isn't using MarcusCom CVS by use only vanilla FreeBSD ports tree.
