Hi Karl,

Just tried Firefox 3.0.12/3.5.1 on several different Solaris 10 boxes
(don't have S10U4 around):

- Solaris 10 10/09 s10s_u8wos_03 SPARC
- Solaris 10 10/09 s10x_u8wos_03 X86
- Solaris 10 5/08 s10s_u5wos_10 SPARC
- Solaris 10 5/08 s10x_u5wos_10 X86

On Solaris 10u8, it works fine. Ctrl+P can give me the printer list that
corresponds to "lpstat -a" with libprintbackend-papi.so available.

On Solaris 10U5, Firefox hangs there with no response for Ctrl+P.

I remember that several papi bugs were fixed in Solaris 10U6 and Firefox
started to work with papi backend. That's the reason that we provided
the papi printer backend for users to try:
http://releases.mozilla.com/sun/solaris10/. The best option might be to
upgrade the boxes to the latest release for it to work.
