I just use MS Windows when I have to print and avoid all that rigmarole. Firefox use to work correctly; however, it no longer does. At first I thought it was a localized phenomena; however, after checking on several different forums I have concluded that it is far more wide spread than I had originally thought. There have been reports filed against this behavior. If and when they are acted upon is anyone's guess. In the mean time, I just use what is convenient and works reliably without adding an undo burden upon myself. Continual use of broken software effectively makes the end user and enabler; something I have no desire to invest my time in. -- Jerry ✌ jerry+fbsd@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or ignored.
