severity 344401 grave
retitle 344401 firefox: all printing support broken
thanks

It gets better and better.  I tried various combinations, and here's what I
found:

1. xprint usually lets one change paper size and still works, but if you try
to print to file, you're likely to get something like this:
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x411f9838 ***
and firefox obviously crashes on that.

2. the CUPS queues either don't work (because of the paper size braindamage,
sometimes even when paper size is left at the default), or they print to
file just fine.  They didn't crash firefox, unlike xprint.

And the CUPS queues sometimes ignore the print command, and sometimes
respect it.  Often the command is reset to the default (!) after it works
*once*.

This is higly worrysome, there are obviously dangling pointers or worse in
this mess, I cannot reproduce *anything* reliably, it is like hunting
ghosts. I am bumping this bug to grave, this crap cannot reach testing.
Feel free to downgrade if, for some reason or another it works for most
users.
