If I print to file I get... a 2.9 Mb file which looks ok, except that the first page has just the navigational tabs from the webpage and pages two and three hold the rest of the body. I attach the first hundred lines of the postscript output. Thanks for taking an interest in my problem.

This sounds familiar. Until a few months ago I also had this (navigation elements printed first, then the content on following pages). But see below.

I my case processing the URL you supplied takes about 4 seconds. The print come out OK (don't know Thai, but the print looks the same as the display). I had many problems with xprint in the past. I found some solutions, which I put on my "UTF-8 on Linux" page (www.jw-stumpel.nl/stestu). But since very recently (two weeks? one week?) these problems have disappeared, i.e., the remedies which I suggested on my page no longer seem necessary (although userContent.css is still nice for customising the print-out). I am using "Debian unstable" which is updated quite frequently. I have done some experiments but haven't found yet which update (Mozilla? xprint? something else?) was the crucial one. If your system is not new enough, you could try the remedies mentioned on my page (creating a userContent.css file in the chrome directory, and removing some xprint fonts). It seems that on my system, Thai is printed using the freeserif font (which supports many languages, including Thai). Do you have that installed?

I am afraid I'm not persuaded here, but I'm not really the person to argue with about it. Hamish Moffatt, who maintains xpdf-chinese-simplified, xpdf-chinese-traditional, xpdf-japanese, and xpdf-korean, is. If you're right, that'd be great. If I understand correctly what is keeping those packages in Debian non-free, then maybe we can move them to Debian main. In any case, if you're right about the blanket submission of the "original files" under the MIT/X Consortium license, then the issue is surely void. If they're not copyrightable, they're free for us. If they're copyrightable and MIT/X licensed, they're also free for us. > > I will try to find this discussion in Debian's list archives > > if you're interested. > > Sure.

I wish there were a historical record to refer to in this case, but as I said, I'll take your word for it until I hear a persuasive case to the contrary. Thanks for the explanation! -- G.

Well, that's more a problem of xphelloworld not being able to pick a resolution itself when there is no default set by the printer. I remember it has an oprtion to set the resolution via command line (like Mozilla now as a GUI item for resolution/quality in the print options dialog) but I do not remember the details. > Is printing to PCL supposed to be working? Half and half. I remember that someone said here that we're waiting for HP to donate their PCL driver code back to XOrg/Xprint.org but I don't know what the status currently is. PCL printing works from the HP machines but the PCL drivers in the XOrg tree are buggy.
