Printing directly from Firefox 3 always prints in pure black & white without gray shades.
If printing to a PDF printer, then using a pdf reader to print it later,
the quality of the print is perfect.

Does the problem also occur in the latest Firefox trunk build?

I tried the build of today, and still encoutered the same printing poor quality.
Its as if the whole page is gone through a high contrast filter befor printing to the real printer.
Printing to a pdfprinter and using a pdf reader to print to the same printer
gives a much better result.

Stefan, this should be fixed now, could you try the latest build and
verify please?  Reopen the bug if it still occurs.  Thanks.
