Just checked and you are correct, so I uninstalled xprt*, restarted mozilla-firefox 1.0-2, brought up a page, clicked print, waited ~30 seconds, clicked print, waited ~15 seconds, watched the 'preparing' message appear and the bar scroll, then firefox crashed. The page had some jpegs on it. Nothing was printed. Restarted and watched the same as above on a text only page and it did print and firefox did _not_ crash. Looks like getting firefox from mozilla is a better choice. The current debian package has some issues. :-) WT -- How an engineer writes a program: Start by debugging an empty file... _______________________________________________________ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
