To reproduce, go to http://www.mec.ca and click on "Paddling Gear", on the left menu bar. You can also try this direct link if it is still valid: http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_main_paddling.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=676559 From there, print and verify if the postscript file is valid or not. This occures with Moz 1.6 on Fecora Core 2, with the latests RPM updates. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Reporter: What's the name of your printer you select in the print dialog ? "PostScript/default" or something else ?
"PostScript/default" is the one I selected. Properties are set to kprinter, but as I mentionned, when saving directly to disk, the postscript is resported by ggv as being invalid. If you asked the question, I must assume you tried it and it worked?

Well, there are many reports about problems with "PostScript/default" ... ;-( The usual "solution" to avoid these problems is to install one of the official Mozilla.org builds from http://www.mozilla.org/releases/ (this is neccesary thanks to RedHat's policy - see bug 133534 comment #6) and install the Xprint RPM from http://xprint.mozdev.org/releases/ - you should get a bunch of new printers in the print dialog which should work then... :)
Summary: Printing page generates invalid postscript. → [ps] Printing page generates invalid postscript.
worksforme with Mozilla 1.7 branch build and PS module (works with ggv) 1.6 is old and not particularly useful for reporting bugs. please try a newer version of Mozilla.
I suspect this is bug 236801; the sample page contains several 1x1 spacer images which are stretched to fill larger areas. Hans, if you're still experiencing this, could you print the sample URL to a file and mail the file to me (or attach it to this bug report)?
WFM 2004072607 Have you tried a newer version?
Nope. I have not upgraded since Mozilla 1.7 has a bug with IMAP. I stay with 1.6.
Confirming that this is a duplicate. The print job has a couple of one-pixel images that ended up being scaled to a height of 0. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 236801 ***
