Printing borked for LC Linux?

[Bob Sneidar]

As a print device specialist, I can tell you that printing directly from a web browser, be it a PDF or a web page or anything, is problematic. It is ALWAYS better to produce a PDF then print from a real PDF product. Web browsers give you printing as an afterthought. “Oh you want to print too?? Uh… okay here you go.”

Not just LC.

If you try to print a Gmail message in Firefox on Ubuntu Mate, then it creates also a pdf which is not getting printed.

Doing the same in chrome and it prints correct.

Printing from Firefox to pdf, then open the pdf in the standard pdf reader, it prints also correct.

This was with a Canon inkjet, but there are also issues with other brands. In this it looks like Firefox is doing something weird.
