They offer better print quality and access to all printer features while using less memory. Mozilla's built-in PDF and Postscript features remain available for use. New / Changed ------------- * Printing from mail and news windows now works as expected - you no longer have to open Print Preview to print. * The built-in Postscript support is now able to print in Landscape mode; it also uses the selected driver's DPI setting when needed. * The outdated Readme.txt file has been replaced by an up-to-date and detailed ReadMe.OS2 that applies to all 3 Mozilla apps. It offers instructions on how to use the new printing features and adds a brief Troubleshooting guide. * A bug which prevented some menu items from being highlighted when using the keyboard has been fixed. Notes ----- * If you've been printing using the built-in Postscript generator but would like to return to using your native PS driver, don't forget to change "print.os2.postscript.use_builtin" from "true" to "false". See ReadMe.OS2 for details. * Postscript output from the native PS driver may not be suitable for conversion to PDF. Instead, have the app generate the PDF itself, or use the built-in PS feature. See ReadMe.OS2 for details. Support ------- Community support for these betas and all Mozilla apps is available through the newsgroups 'mozilla.dev.ports.os2' or 'comp.os.os2.apps'.
