The patch attached to the May 13 message in this thread works. But it's
not true to say that LPR does not support PDF. I created a patch and a
bug, 231110, which fixes the problem at the GTK end by asserting that
lpr does accept pdf. I suspect that upstream firefox might not want
to roll back their change from generating PostScript to PDF, but maybe
upstream GTK might accept this print dialog change.
I'm not subscribed to freebsd-gecko, so please CC me on replies.
Thanks for the original patch in any case. -- George
