276109 - Firefox & Mozilla will not print correctly with Samsung ML-1750

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[Stephen Hancock]

The fonts are skewed when printing any pages from the browser and the page is
mostly unreadable. Graphics print OK. 
This occurs on both windows and linux version of firefox and mozilla. The will
print to my Epson C82 fine. No other applications have this problem. Changing
fonts make no difference.

Problem occurs on SuSE 9.1, Fedora Core 2 & 3, Windows 2000. This has been
happening for the last 2-3 releases (I'm sorry I don't have specifics). Firefox
and Mozilla are the most current versions. 

The Samsung ML-1750 is using the PPD file: Samsung ML-1750 Foomatic/pxlmono file. 
The problem occurs when using kprinter or lpd or the default mozilla call for
printing (on linux). 

The printer is a local printer to a linux workstation (SuSE 9.1) and other
windows workstations on the intranet can print to that printer. I have not tried
printing to the ML-1750 on windows as a local printer.

Can you go to 'about:config' and see whether 'freetype.printing' is set to true
or false? I don't remember the exact pref. name. Just type 'freetype' and only
one of several entries will have 'print' in its name.

In addition, the result of  'about:buildconfig' would help.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
