Mozilla has dropped support for direct printing; presumably, due to a truly heroic amount of crack, and enough booze to make a Kennedy passout... As it now stands your choices are A) not print or B) downgrade to a version that predates the brain damage. Go to snapshot.debian.net and get the following packages: epiphany-browser_1.2.6-1_i386.deb libnss3_1.6-7_i386.deb mozilla-psm_1.6-7_i386.deb libnspr4_1.6-7_i386.deb mozilla-browser_1.6-7_i386.deb mozilla-xft_1.6-7_i386.deb Install with 'dpkg -i'; be advised that you need to have the mozilla stuff installed before epiphany-browser. Then fire up your editor and as root add the following to /etc/apt/preferences to keep apt from updating them: Package: mozilla-browser Pin: version 1.6-7 Pin-Priority: 1001 Package: mozilla-psm Pin: version 1.6-7 Pin-Priority: 1001 Package: mozilla-xft Pin: version 1.6-7 Pin-Priority: 1001 I hope this helps. Don't bother trying to file a bugreport, I was told that lack of postscript wasn't a bug and it was closed. I guess I should just sell my postscript laser printer then; as the Gods of Mozilla have spoken and Real Printers are now passe. -- Trying to win hearts and mindes on a newsgroup is like putting up an art gallery for gerbils. -- Bryan J.
