Re: Mozilla 1.7 will break Epiphany printing
Thats actually pretty harsh. I had converstions with marco and mozilla people this year to try and sort the mess. (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141241, http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=193001, http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192999)
Ephiphany upstream doesnt *want* to use the PS output stuff, but mozilla doesnt want to put in gnome-print backends. Theres no impetus to push for a gnomeprint backend due to a long term desire to just use cario, but cairo ain't going to be usabele for a loong time by my reckoning... so bascially its f**ked up all the way..
