Hello, all: A poster a day ago mentioned problems with Mozilla (heretofore "M."), not found with Konqueror (heretofore "K."). I'm glad now to know I'm not alone. "In the beginning..." I used K. exclusively. One day, I went to a web site. The connection went well, but K. showed only a blank screen. I tried again, on different days and times, with the same result. I then tried M. It displayed the page well. I started using M. only. Yesterday, trying to d'd 'apt', M. displayed the file as I suppose it should. I directed to 'print to file' and chose the appropriate file. When I tried 'rpm -i', it complained it was not an "rpm" file. I took a look at it, and it appeared to be 'ps'. I invoked K., and it d'd the file properly. The same thing happened again when I next tried 'apt-devel'. I'd prefer to use M., but how can I convince it to print "as is" (in the original language *but not* as "ps")? -- Regards, gr (in /usually/ balmy, sunny Florida's Suncoast) [powered by SuSE-7.3 Linux 2.4.10]

Of course it is going to show up as a ps file, you are printing it to a file. You need to save the file and not print it, choose "Save link target as" or if your mime-types are setup properly just double clicking the link should do the trick.

Instead of left-clicking on the file link, right click and choose "save link target as", and save the file as normal. I think there is something not quite configured that way on that sight, but this works. Normally, I can left click these links on Mozilla, and I can save it but not the apt page.
