Not just LC.
If you try to print a Gmail message in Firefox on Ubuntu Mate, then it
creates also a pdf which is not getting printed.
Doing the same in chrome and it prints correct.
Printing from Firefox to pdf, then open the pdf in the standard pdf
reader, it prints also correct.
This was with a Canon inkjet, but there are also issues with other
brands. In this it looks like Firefox is doing something weird.

For those who haven't read Mark's helpful workaround, from his comment
there:
If you print to pdf, copy and rename that pdf file into
the /tmp directory, then you can print it to the printer
because the print command invokes lp properly.
Thanks, Mark. That's more or less what I'm doing now, though manually.
I can work around most of the limitations each time another wheel
falls off the LC Linux engine.
So I'm okay. I'm more concerned the other tens of millions of desktop
Linux users who may not stumble across this workaround and get a poor
impression of what LiveCode can do for themselves and the orgs they run.
