    For a few weeks now I've been getting "stretched" printing from
    Firefox. By that I mean that all the text is vertically elongated so
    that the page runs off the bottom of the physical paper.

    Printing works from other applications. I've been hoping this would
    just go away with some upgrade of Firefox, but it's persisted long
    enough to become irritating.

    Google reveals I'm not alone, but doesn't point to any answers.
    Anyone worked out a fix?
