I am using Debian/unstable.
Recently after an upgrade, mozilla has stopped printing. When I print
a page from mozilla, it sends a ps file to printer and nothing gets
printed. My printer is HP2300TN and I am using cups for printing. The
output of dpkg -l|grep cups is given below:
$ dpkg -l |grep cups

The commandline print (lpr) works very fine. Other applications like
openoffice, etc., can print without a problem.
The interesting point is that if I print a webpage to "file" and then
send that ps file to printer with lpr, the printer then also does not
prints anything.
All I can understand is that mozilla is sending some thing into the ps
file which the pritner cannot understand and so it prints nothing(Am I
right?).
Is any other person facing the same problem?
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
