xprint and firefox

[John Francis Lee]

Hello,

I have FC3 installed and have downloaded and installed 
 xprint-2004-07-07-release_009_001-0.9.001.i386.rpm

My object is to get firefox to print Thai webpages correctly.

When I try to print to my ricoh 1600 using ricoh@:33 firefox takes more
than a minute to format the page, the printer blinks and processes the
results, but no paper comes out of the printer and it returns to state
"ready". Thai or English.

If I print to file and examine the results with ggv I can see the page
more or less correctly rendered. For some reason the navigation buttons
from the top of the page are one this fist page by themselves and the
rest of the page is on succeeding pages. If I try to print the page from
ggv I get the same result as with firefox itself.

If I use the default PostScript/ricoh printer, Thai characters are
rendered as little boxes.

I have no trouble printing from evolution, openoffice, gedit, or other
programs, in THai or in English.

Does anyone understand what's wrong?

How else might I print Thai webpages if xprint cannot be made to work on
redhat?

Thanks in advance for your help.
