Again, it's not FF3 issue if the print dialog is broken for some reason.
Firefox is to blame since it's relying on Gnome to provide a working
print dialog. So I haven't seen a bugreport about that behaviour in
bugzilla.novell.com yet. If more people are having that issue I'd expect
to get one.
And: the old printing dialogs in Firefox were definitely broken. One
could argue if it's much better now or not.
