Hello,
I have FC3 installed and have downloaded and installed xprint-2004-07-07-release_009_001-0.9.001.i386.rpm
My object is to get firefox to print Thai webpages correctly.
When I try to print to my ricoh 1600 using ricoh@:33 firefox takes more than a minute to format the page, the printer blinks and processes the results, but no paper comes out of the printer and it returns to state "ready". Thai or English.
If I print to file and examine the results with ggv I can see the page more or less correctly rendered. For some reason the navigation buttons from the top of the page are one this fist page by themselves and the rest of the page is on succeeding pages. If I try to print the page from ggv I get the same result as with firefox itself.
If I use the default PostScript/ricoh printer, Thai characters are rendered as little boxes.
I have no trouble printing from evolution, openoffice, gedit, or other programs, in THai or in English.
Does anyone understand what's wrong?
How else might I print Thai webpages if xprint cannot be made to work on redhat?
Thanks in advance for your help.
My understanding is that xprint was explicitly disabled in FC3 mozilla/firefox/thunderbird because we consider xprint to be a "legacy" library that we want to get rid of. If this caused problems for Thai printing, this is an unfortunate side effect.
I wonder if running in PANGO mode would make a difference here. Anyone else have any thoughts?
