This a sporadic printing corruption problem that I'm getting on Windows 7 SP1 and only seems to affect Firefox and not other programs/browsers. Most of the time pages will print correctly, but often the print output becomes completely corrupted with all characters on the page being separated by additional white-space.

I have this happening on 2 different network printers (HP Deskjet 950C and Canon Pixma iP4000 connected to another Windows 7 machine). I also don't seem to be the only one with the problem as there seem to be  a few others reporting it on input.mozilla.org ( http://input.mozilla.com/en-US/beta/search?product=firefox&q=print+space ).

Reproducible: Sometimes
Summary: Printing is sporadically corrupted and unreliable - extra space being inserted between characters → Printing is unreliable due to sporadic corruption - extra space being inserted between characters
Looking at the input.mozilla.org feedback, this seems to affect all versions of Windows and has only occurred since beta 12.
