Hi,
I've got a strange kind of problem on Debian testing with
Mozilla and printing (cups).
I often want to print somewhat longer documents, but without
wasting too much dead trees. Therefore I print into a file,
do a psnup -2 to get two pages per sheet of paper, and print
the resulting postscript document.
When using Mozilla this way, the original postscript document
is fine, but the result of the psnup -2 is unusable, as the
fonts remain at the original size, i.e. the lower and right
parts of the pages get lost - no proper resizing of the page,
all in all. I verified this both with gv and gs (which
sometimes show slightly different results depending on the
postscript document, especially with graphics).
This same problem does not appear with postscript documents
generated from OpenOffice for instance.
Unfortunately, I couldn't reproduce the problem. I tried Mozilla 1.7 and
the Slashdot Frontpage. I used psnup -2 to scale down and viewed the
result with gv.
Perhaps, you could give some more details about your Mozilla version and
the webpage you tried to print.
Greetings, Patrick
