PDF's printed from Firefox 32 come out all wrong

Example: Try printing http://www.uow.edu.au/~thomaspl/pdf/BajPla04.pdf from the built-in PDF reader in Firefox. The spacing between characters in words comes out all wrong, making them very difficult to read. Also, the TeX equations looks like a mess of symbols splattered randomly onto the page.

In comparison, printing the same PDF from Adobe Reader works perfectly.

I tested the above PDF on two separate printers connected to two separate machines, with the same results from each.

Hi. I understand your problem with Firefox, that it does not print in a proper form or spacing between characters comes out all wrong . I print the same pdf file on my printer with Firefox version 32.0.3 and the print was absolutely fine. So i request you to please update your Firefox so in future these errors do not occur.

If you still have the same problem then please let me know

For Firefox built-in-pdf printing problem. Consult this:

Hope this will work.

That did not work. This is definitely a bug in Firefox.

I just opened "print preview" and the document looked fine. When I printed it out, it was printed correctly.

However, I came back to my computer, didn't change anything, opened print-preview again, and saw this: http://screencast.com/t/h5DbjKhOPp When I printed it out, it looked exactly like the screenshot.

I'm trying to figure out reliable repro steps, but it appears to be completely random.
