No need. You can convert postscript to pdf with a single command:

The users should NOT have to do this if printing was properly programmed
in Firefox.

Dropping back to the '80s to use the CLI is always a bad thing, IMO.

In any case, it worked fine a few weeks ago. I know I have a new version of
firefox, so what did they remove?? ...

openSUSE 11.0 64 bit
Firefox 3.0.2

It workred in any FF 3.0 since installation.
Considering printing I can't recall that I have seen YaST.
It just worked as set during installation.

Print to file option in Firefox has 2 radio buttons to select pdf or ps file
as a target.
If you press pdf it will change default name mozilla.ps to mozilla.pdf, so I
change mozilla to something more descriptive and it saves/prints as pdf.
