[Regression from bug 127430 ("throw away nsImageGTK client side copy"] We now print images in a far lower quality when the browser is displaying on a non-TrueColor Xserver because we now use a copy from the (dithered) Xserver images instead using the our own 24bit RGB data. Steps to reproduce: 1. Start Mozilla on a Xserver which has only 8bit (or lower) visuals 2. Print a page (PostScript module) Result: Ugly dithered images, sometimes with wrong colors - even on high-quality printers. On StaticGray visuals the images end-up as grayscale images with color text. Expected result: High-quality printout

Mozilla should use the full image data when printing. I expect a large image at <img ... width=100> to print small but with high quality.
I don't think this issue applies to the new cairo-based printing code. Please open a new bug if it can be reproduced with a current (trunk) build.
