Does FF2 work on the W2K box? If so, stick with it!
I'm still on FF2 on all my XP machines.
Bushfiva - is this what you are alluding to:
* Windows 2000
* Firefox 3 (U.S. English)
* Several printers: HP Color LaserJet 2550n (PCL6), FinePrint 5.85, pdfFactory 3.30
Most web pages would print ok, but some (notably account statements and other tabular information on
Handelsbanken) would be completely garbled.
I found this thread and started trying solutions. I tried setting the default encoding to "Windows 1252", as suggested by Peter Staack, but it didn't help. Only after this did I try "Print preview" and this looked ok, albeit with rather odd character spacing. I then tried FinePrint again and to my astonishment it too produced correct output (even with correct character spacing). I then reverted the default encoding back to "ISO 8859-1" and did another "Print preview" which still looked ok. Actual printer output is also still correct.
I don't know how to explain it, but either invoking "Print preview" alone did it for me, or else switching to "Windows 1252" combined with "Print preview" did it, but after getting it right I don't need "Windows 1252" any more.
