Right, I suspect it has to do with using postscript. I've seen this behavior
on Windows and Linux printing from FireFox. I may try setting up a PCL
instance for my printer just to test, not sure (following the switch from
SuSE to Kubuntu I've been able to get any other computer on my network to
print and that's the focus of my attention at the moment -- everything loks
to be configured correctly but obviously something is not)
