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.
