Title:
  printing from Firefox 5 crashes reboots network printer

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have a networked Brother HL-4050CDN printer. I used to be able to
  print from Firefox to this printer with no problems. Recently (after I
  upgraded to Firefox 5?) most times when I print from Firefox to the
  printer the printer reboots and does not print anything. If I print to
  file (PS or PDF format) from and then print the file from Evince to
  the networked printer, that works fine.  I have also noticed that if I
  print from Firefox to the networked printer without it rebooting there
  is a problem with the font - it is very coarse
