Would it be possible to compile firefox to include PostScript
printing support ? I haven't checked 1.5, but the previous
versions came with Xprint support only.

Xprint doesn't work on a default Solaris installation. A few months
ago I spent a whole day experimenting with Xprt and GISWxprintglue,
without satisfying results. With Sun's configuration I couldn't get
A4 paper format (always letter), with GISWxprintglue the fonts
looked horrible.

I'd prefer a simple solution to printing with Firefox, that doesn't
require packages to be added or configuration changes to every 
workstation in my network. What is everybody else doing about this ?
