eew, evolution wrapped the quoted text above horribly. I hope it's only on my end.

Chris Aillon is one of our Mozilla hackers. J5 dropped the 'i' :)

Hard to say, as it seems like an RFE and not a 'real' bug - that doesn't
mean I don't hate having to use 2 different browsers [0] on my Fedora
desktop because of various bugs.

I found your report and added it to the FC3 Desktop target bug [1] which
is aliased 'YellowPad'. 

Here's the state of printing in GNOME-y browsers. I'm pasting this here
and in your report [2] for some odd reason.

firefox-0.10.0-1.0PR1.0 has a nice dropdown listing all my network
printers now.
mozilla-1.7.2-0.3.0 has a dropdown but only 'Postscript/default' is
listed.
epiphany-1.3.8-0.3.1 still has the field with 'lpr.cups' in it -
useless to me.

[0] Firefox for browsing and printing (before we shipped it, it was
konqueror) and epiphany for those times when I'd clicked an https link
in something like evolution. The URL handlers are a little borked:
