93997 - Postscript print output is unreasonably large

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 68865

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

There have been previous reports similar to this one. So far as I can tell, all
have been closed as invalid or won't-fix. I think that is wrong as it will mean
that Mozilla is completely impractical for use in printing many web pages.

I am attaching Postscript output generated by the W2K "Color Postscript" driver
redirected to a file and the original HTML source. The IE output for this page
is just over 200K, the Mozilla output is more than 5M - 25 times as large. Wnen
sent to an HP Laserjet 8100 via 100BaseT, the Mozilla output requires about 20
minutes to print the single page.

BTW, these print files were generated with Mozilla 0.9.3.
