I followed the instructions that Zvi Har'El gave me and it solved the problem.
On Fedora, Xprint did not run because somehow it was looking for the
"SecurityPolicy" file under "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/" and it wasn't there.
I had to link "/etc/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy", where it usually resides,
to "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/".
Now I can print hebrew with Mozilla on all my Distros. Thanks again,
Pinchas

I am using RedHat 9.0, with mozilla 1.5 I downloaded as a tar file (mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.5.tar.gz). This mozilla doesn't support Xprint by default, and this is also what you miss. Do do it, I had to add the line
user_pref("print.print_method", 1);
in mozilla preferences file (you can do it prefs.js, but it is recommended to
do it in user.js - I also have the definions to enable trutype fonts), and
also to download the Xprint rpm
http://xprint.sourceforge.net/download/xprint-2003-04-16-release_008-0.8.i386.rpm
to install it and to start the Xprint server which it installs (using chkconfig and service commands).
It really prints very nicely; I would remark that the Xprint server is really an X server that prints from data clients put on the X display :33. Interesting.

Sorry for mailing this mail in HTML!
When I am running Mozilla 1.3.1 or 1.4.0 on my Mandrake-9.2 or RH 9-Enterprise WS Partitions,
I can print Hebrew pages on any one of my CUPS configured printers,
selected from the Mozilla printer selection window:
LocalHP930C@:33 [HP930C connected to parallel port 0] SMB-Printer@:33 [HP930C connected to a win95 PC via samba] Tp0@:33 [Hp9330C local, configured with TurboPrint-free]
When I run, mozilla 1.4.0 or 1.4.1 on Fedora-core1 or
Knoppix 3.3 with added Debian applications partitions,
all I can see in the mozilla printer selection window, is: "PostScript/default" ,
and the printers output only English.
This happens when the printers configuration is the same as on mandrake 9.2.
Konqueror, anyway, is printing Hebrew on all partitions, with any of the 3 printers.
After reading may papers and mozilla configuration files, I can not find the reason for this behavior.
Please help!
