My comment is not about Mozilla, but printing in Linux.  If you want
printing to work _almost_ as easy as in Windows, you need a native
Postscript printer, which the HP 6L is not.  Printing to a PCL printer
will always be more difficult from Linux because the native print
language is Postscript and it has to be converted to PCL by a filter
which not only can produce inconsistent results, but is by definition
twice as slow.  Many of my printing issues went away when I got a native
Postscript printer.  In fact, my home printer, Lexmark Optra E322,
prints Postscript and PCL.  HP also makes several models that support
Postscript and PCL.  You pay a few dollars more, but it is very much
worth it.

Best Regards,
Keith
