Firefox freezes on print -- anyone else?
I've been having a problem with Firefox 1.5 running under SuSE 10.0. When I print a web page, I get the correct printout and the printing window shows 100% completion. But the printing window won't close no matter what I do, and in fact the entire machine seems to be freezing up. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Googling for it has produced nothing. Paul

sorry, SUSE 10, KDE 3.5 Firefox 1.5, I print from web pages all the time. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800

This could very well be normal -if- you are printing a large document. Do you know how many pages you are expecting to be printed? -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998

good point. I've seen this many times on computers with 256 megs RAM, trying to print pictures, large PDF docs.. etc. the answer is: 1. more memory- 512 megs at least 2. try printing 1 page at a time, instead of the whole document. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800

Just one, double-sided! Paul
