Just FYI, Netscape does not have the same problem. This is surprising,
as they come from the same code tree. Has there been any progress here?

Patrick,

It's a bug.

#213004: Mozilla runs away with CPU usage and freezes when trying to print
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=213004

My solution was to use Mozilla-Firebird, which is a nicer browser as well. Happy printing.

Of course with package mozilla 2:1.4-4 you pick up all the bugs that that version of mozilla has.
I found 2 in bugzilla searching on "loop print":
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196306
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=211813
but they referred to 1.3b and 1.5a, don't know if this would effect this package.

Netscape is quite something else: it is indeed based on mozilla, but it all depends on what version of netscape.

I download the latest release of mozilla and compile that with xft, it avoids all such problems.

As to "nice", de gustibus non est disputandum...

Hugo.
