I encounter similar phenomena at Ubuntu 12.04 on my home. This computer is connected to very old printer, Canon S600 (equivalent, BJ F850 in Japanese brand name) via USB. Almost of all printing is fine using foomatic printer driver (S600 or S630) except printing from Firefox. It turns out totally black with fine streaky lines in the right side.
Page is totally black with characters embossing like photo negatives. Printing is no problem if I once output pages to PDF (using cups-pdf) and then printing (using Adobe Acrobat). Also, I confirmed this problem on printing from Google Chrome. I am not sure what layer is the cause of this problem, cups, gs or these browsers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/964574 Title: Images print as black blocks Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: With the latest upgrade (11.0) images print as a black block. E.g. printing out www.google.com results in a black rectangle where I would expect to see the image of the google logo. In the past output to my HP1100 worked properly. This is a major problem as I now cannot print maps or any other images without using another browser.
