I briefly had the problem on my 64-bit desktop,
but I have been updating with a vengence and
something cleared the problem. Maybe the
update kernel 2.6.22.9-desktop-2mdv. Firefox
print preview is working fine now.

I am continuing to have problems with having to
rebuild the /var/lib/rpm/__db* databases before
each update (remove them; then run rpm --rebuilddb
which takes a few minutes). Be sure you are
getting all the updates (main, main updates,
contrib, contrib updates, non-free, non-free
updates, plf free, plf non-free). All have to
be enabled and Updates checked in MCC.

Diverting slightly, I upgraded from 2007.1 rather
than a clean install, and I find I have a lot of
2007.1 packages still on the system. I'm assuming
they are still ok (I note 2008.0 offers kernels
back to 2.6.17.14-5, so I am assuming there has
not been a lot of change in the kernel. Still,
every time I update something that replaces a
2007.1 package, things seem to work better...
Maybe that is just my imagination but seems better.

Cheers!

I assume you mean print preview! I,m running 2.0.0.8 and its working correctly
on mdv 2007.1.

Yes, Print Preview, and - yes it works oerfectly on 2007.0.
It also works on KPDF and OpenOffice under 2008.0.
Perhaps this Firefox 2.0.0.8 is broken. Will move to
2.0.0.10 (which I'm using on 2007.0).

Now that's a point. I haven't got around to doing updates yet
after the installation. Will fire that off soon and see what
happens.

Have just done a major post-installation update, which seems to
have cleared this problem.
