I should have read the entire README.txt before sending the announcement. 
This release still does not have printing working.

 From the README.txt:

"Known Problems of the OS/2 version
----------------------------------

Cross-platform problems are usually listed in the release notes of each
milestone release.

- Printing to normal OS/2 printer queues had to be disabled. It was slow even
   for simple pages and used huge amounts of RAM, so that in most cases the
   application crashed, see 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=415522.
   While the queues are still displayed in the printing dialog, any printing
   operation will instead create a PDF file. By default this file is placed on
   the Desktop, with the name Firefox_<date>_<time>.pdf, where <date> and
   <time> are replaced by the current system time. If you want to use another
   name, select "Print to file" before pressing the Print button.
   The resulting PDF file can be printed using applications like Lucide, 
Acrobat
   Reader, or GSview.

- Fonts with names containing special characters (like Asian Unicode names)
   will not display correctly in the list of fonts in the Options panel.

- Firefox will beep when copying more than 64 kB of text to the clipboard.
   This is to alert users that many applications (most notably the system
   editor, EPM, and applications running in VIO windows) cannot paste more
   than this."
