I tried installed Opera a while ago, but the program seg-faulted during
startup. But for some reason I forgot about Chrome. And I *can* print
from it. I tried the Print-PDF extension to Firefox and got nothing.
Firefox saves web pages just fine. And other programs seem to be able to
print files just fine, so I would think cups and ghostscript are ok.
It's a newly created guest.
