Printer prints letters with wrong spacing
When I print a webpage from Firefox it (always?) prints what seems to be the right letters but with hopeless spacing between the letters -- usually overlapping each other so it is unreadable. This is exactly the problem discussed in Bugzilla@Mozilla, Bug 454532 between 2008 and 2011. I can often (always?) solve it by doing a Print Preview first, which demosntrates that it is a Firefox problem. Pages print fine in IE, Chrome, Opera etc. My Firefox is 23.0.1, I'm using Windows XP. Printer is Panasonic KX-P7105. Is there any way round this, or should I just go back to Internet Explorer?

It is possible that the font that is used for printing is corrupted or otherwise not working.
You can try to reinstall that font to see if that helps.
You can use this extension to see which fonts used in text that is selected (right-click: "Show fonts in selection").
You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).
You can try different default fonts and temporarily disable website fonts to test the selected default font.
