Package: firefox Version: 1.5.dfsg-4 Severity: normal There are several problems with printing in Firefox:
1. There is no way to make the default printer "stick" between sessions. 2. Each printer is listed twice. Once with "@:64" after the name, and once as CUPS/name. It's completely undocumented in the help system what the difference between these is. There are also xp_ps_spooldir and xp_pdf_spooldir, which also are completely undocumented. 3. None of the CUPS printers work; when I try to print, I get a Printer Error box that says "There was a problem printing because the paper size you specified is not supported by your printer." 4. The Page Setup box takes margins only in millimeters. It should also be able to accept margins in inches. 5. The na-letter paper size in the Printer Properties box is confusingly located in the middle of a bunch of ISO options, and is difficult to find there. 6. It's unclear what the "Gap from edge of paper to Margin" in Printer Properties means, or how it relates to the margins in Page Setup, or even what units it is given in. I see 0.4 on my screen. 0.4 what? Inches? Centimeters? Millimeters? 7. Under Colorspace, I see "TrueColor/24bit" listed four times, with no apparent difference between them. It's also unclear what the difference between GrayScale and StaticGray is. 8. The Resolution/Quality box maxes out at 600DPI. Quite a few printers are capable of more than that these days. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.13.3 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages firefox depends on: ii debianutils 2.15.2 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii fontconfig 2.3.2-1.1 generic font configuration library ii libatk1.0-0 1.10.3-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.3.5-12.1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcairo2 1.0.2-3 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.3.2-1.1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.1.10-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.0.2-8 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.8.6-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.8.10-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libidl0 0.8.5-1 library for parsing CORBA IDL file ii libjpeg62 6b-11 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libpango1.0-0 1.10.2-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-5 PNG library - runtime ii libstdc++6 4.0.2-8 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System protocol client li ii libxcursor1 1.1.3-1 X cursor management library ii libxext6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxft2 2.1.8.2-2 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxi6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System Input extension li ii libxinerama1 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System multi-head display ii libxp6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System printing extension ii libxrandr2 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System Resize, Rotate and ii libxrender1 1:0.9.0.2-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii psmisc 22.1-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-9 compression library - runtime firefox recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
