	I have a problem which resembles this.
	When I print a web page from Opera, it prints correctly.
	When I print wuth Firefox 10/SeaMonkey 2.8, everything is
crushed up into 1/4 - the upper left quadrant - of the output page.
The page formatting appears to be right; I can't tell about
individual characters because everything is so small.
	System is:

FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT #0: Sun Mar 11 08:20:02 EDT 2012 amd64 


	Any ideas?
