Title:
  Firefox 5 for Ubuntu 1.0 issues undefined command to printer; page
  setup reverts to Any Printer  for Portable Documents

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Since upgrading to Firefox 5, on Ubuntu 11.04, I can't print from
  Firefox to my networked printer.  I get an error printout from the
  printer saying: "ERROR NAME: undefined  COMMAND: Q  OPERAND STACK: "
  instead of the document printout.   Looking at the Page Setup dialog
  in Firefox 5, I see that it is set for printing to a portable format
  called "Any Printer" rather than set to my default printer which is a
  Brother HL-4250DN on the LAN ethernet.   Trying to change the printer
  by pulling down the list in that diaglog and selecting the Brother
  does not maintain the setting after I click "Apply".  When I look
  after applying and closing the dialog and reopening, it has reverted
  back to Any Printer, not the Brother.   I think this is why the print
  command from Firefox sends faulty format data to my printer.  It's not
  the printer driver's fault.  The same printer works fine on other
  programs that print, such as LibreOffice, the document viewer for pdf,
  and Chromium for web sites.   It's something wrong in Firefox that
  won't hold the printer selected in Page Setup.  This same hardware
  used to work on earlier Firefox 3.x.x and 4.x betas. Since  I upgraded
  (by clean installation) to Ubuntu 11.04, I can't print from Firefox 5.
  Version of Firefox is latest:  5.0+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.11.04.2.
  Screenprint of dialog is attached.
