I don't care if you only ship a print dialog with gtk+ print dialog support providing you have a way to generate Postscript to a file. Surely the Postscript rendering code needs to be built into Firefox anyway?

We wouldn't want to provide "available by default" UI for a feature that only people with
broken print setups would use.

Someone could write an extension though. This PDF output extension might work for you if you
can post-process the PDF. It probably only needs slight tweaks to make it output PS instead.

Print-to-PDF extension is perfect.  Thank you!
