       Hi,

       I  only  use  xpdf, so I don't have this problem  but  I  just
       noticed  that  I can't print any longer with this  release  of
       firefox, the generated postscript beeing very strange. I first
       thought  that was an UTF8 problem, but I got the same behavior
       with iso-8859-1 encoding.

       So  I re-install the previous release (1.5.0.12-0.3.el4) and I
       can print afresh.

       Does anybody see the same problem ?
