I'm on the other side of the fence ATM; just installed CUPS and
configured my Samsung ML-1710 (CUPS had an exact match for
make/model).  Test page prints great, enscript'd text prints great,
even simple postscript (latex->dvi->postscript) works great.  But,
pages printed from firefox/mozilla are a mess---just a jumble of lines
at the top of the page; doesn't look anything like gv shows.  I didn't
have any problems like this when I was running RedHat/Fedora... (same
printer)

Might there be a driver package I'm missing?  These are the packages I
apt-get installed:

cupsys-bsd cupsys-client cupsys-driver-gimpprint xpp cupsomatic-ppd
foomatic-db-gimp-print

Any help/ideas would be much appreciated :)

Thanks,

Jason
