Re: printing from firefox

bmsims1> IMO, dump Xprt
OK, I finally got rid of the "xprt stuff" hoping that an outstanding
firefox problem would be fixed ... unfortunately the old problem
remains, and a new "issue" appeared ...
New issue
---------
Invoking any firefox printing function (preview, print) is *extremely*
slow. It now takes on the order of 15-20 seconds for the "print
dialog" to appear. Clicking OK takes an add'l 5-10 seconds before the
printing begins. Strangely enough, I don't see any significant
increase in the CPU load. (NB: I did restart 'cups'.)
Old problem
-----------
I have tried about everything (including changing margin settings in
the "page setup" dialog, examining possible options in "about:config",
etc.), but still cannot get the "headers/footers" to appear in printed
web pages. They show up in "print preview" -- at the very edge of the
image -- but don't make it to the *printed* page(s).
Needless to say, printing headers & footers is a very important
capability of my preferred browser: Firefox!
Thanks for any ideas,
