So far I can't get this to work. I have a postscript printer on the
icon bar for when I need to make a PDF; however, if I select this and
then try to print from FF, I get the print dialogue, click "Print" and
FF evaporates. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but have no idea
what.

With best wishes,
