 Finally, I got a chance to look at this in more detail.
 I updated to the latest firefox-3.0.2,1 binary package for FreeBSD 
 7.1-RELEASE, and tried the suggested "XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps" workaround.
 
 The garbled printed glyph bug still exists.
 
 The symptoms are similar to these postings and bug reports, although 
 these are for Windows:
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=454532#c3
 http://fixunix.com/mozilla/539574-firefox-3-0-3-vs-seamonkey-1-1-9-a.html
 
 I tried printing to a non-Postscript printer (Epson CX3650).
 The problem is still present there, which suggests the root cause may be 
 in the Firefox 3 print renderer. I don't see this issue with Firefox 2. 
 Both appear to use the same versions of the installed Pango libraries.
 
 I am using a CUPS networked print server to connect my printers.
 
 The page I've been using to demonstrate this is 
 http://www.thepensionservice.gov.uk/ although the problem exists with 
 all sites regardless of text encoding. The page looks just fine in 
 "Print Preview", but, print it, and the glyphs are unreadable.
