Reporter:
Which print module do you use ?
Is the printer name "PostScript/default" (or something else starting with
"Postscript/") ?

Yes, it's PostScript/default. 
 
And another thing: the File printed by "Print to File" takes a very long 
time to be rendered by gv. (so long I cannot wait).

Can you install Xprint (see
http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.3/index.html#xprint), please ? That
should solve your problem...

Can you file a seperate bug for that, please ?
