to pdf filename box so you can simply change 001 to 002. See:

If you were on FF3, I would beg for the magic you used to get the
drop-down
combo box back! That way you _could_ select kprinter and use its print to pdf
function and as a bonus, your pdf's from FF would be about 50% smaller than the
ones FF3 creates.
If you do find a way to get the drop-down combo box to work in FF3,
pass it
along -- Please!

Basil sent me a file of the print dialog how it used to be for me and how it
is for him:

Notice that the first item in the list - and it is a listbox - is the "Print
to File."

Now, here is my print dialog box:

The listbox has been replaced with a drop-down combo box.
He's on firefox 3.0.3 from openSUSE, and I'm on...
..wait!
I'm on 2.0.16??
WTF?

I was on 3.0.x from openSUSE and apparently have been downgraded somehow.
This is weird. In fact, YaST doesn't even show the 3.x version anymore.
There's a "MozillaFirefox-branding-upstream" showing 7.3K and a version of
3.0.1-81, but that's it.
Okay, this is weird. My windows version is at 3.0.2.
Looking at SMART, there's a version 3.0.3-1.1. However, trying to upgrade
it,
gives me a conflict with the "branding upstream."
Time to investigate.
