Wow, what a waste of time that is. I just use MS Windows when I have to
print and avoid all that rigmarole.

Firefox use to work correctly; however, it no longer does. At first I
thought it was a localized phenomena; however, after checking on
several different forums I have concluded that it is far more wide
spread than I had originally thought.

There have been reports filed against this behavior. If and when they
are acted upon is anyone's guess. In the mean time, I just use what is
convenient and works reliably without adding an undo burden upon
myself. Continual use of broken software effectively makes the end
user and enabler; something I have no desire to invest my time in.
