Ok I am still having a problem printing from Firefox.  It printed a pdf 
from Evince when the pdf was collected by Firefox but now it is not 
printing another crossword puzzle, not a pdf, however it appears that 
this could be a Flash related problem.

That is apparently the case, I can print different [html?] puzzle that 
does not use Flash!  I usually print four of them every morning, two use 
Flash and apparently those are the ones giving me trouble.

This is a new problem that has just begun recently, before that 
everything was working well.  By the way, this is an up to date F7 
system should that be of interest.

Does this tell us anything?  It looks like three lines are marked with 
an "E" for error.  "PID 8351 (/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstops) crashed on 
signal 11!" What does that mean?  How do I set the loglevel to "debug?"
