Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

When printing a web page in Firefox/Swiftweasel 3.0b4 in fully up to
date Hardy as of 27-Mar-2008, no matter which printer or PPD I choose
for that printer, there is a gap of extra white space between characters
near the right margin of the page (see attached output of printing to
the CUPS-PDF "printer").

This does not occur when printing from Gedit or OpenOffice Writer, for
example, but I have noticed other issues when printing from evince:
although the on screen display is correct, the printed document will
have underlined text shifted over or the entire word of a header shifted
over (I mention this, even though I'm reporting a firefox bug, just in
case the issues are somehow related).
