Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox

On Dapper 6.06 LTS, In Firefox 1.5.0.7, when I follow a PDF link, which
therefore starts eVince, trying to print leads to eVince hanging.

This is 100% reproducable. I have to kill off eVince by closing the
window, and waiting for the "force quit" dialog, or with a kill -9 from
the command line.

I can save the file to my filesystem, open it there with eVince, and
print fine.

Steps to reproduce
* Start firefox
* Find a page with a link to a PDF
* Follow the link
* File->Print

Expected Results
* Print Dialog Displayed

Actual Results
* eVince will hang
* Needs to killed or force killed.

Reproducability
100% on my system. Will try this in Edgy also tonight.
