I can print from other applications without any problems either. Print to postscript or PDF and then view it with ghostscript or PDF viewer. Therefore this has nothing to do with CUPS or the actual printing to one's printer. It has to do with the generation of the postscript file, perhaps by cairo. I have included the good postscript output from the linux system's firefox as reference. Please see previous message for the bad postscript output. Steven --Boundary-00=_rY+cNtakqQ6EjBb--
