This sucks! I print *everything* to file so I can run it through a duplex
printing emulator on Linux and print in batches without interrupting my
workflow to mind the printer. I *need* postscript output for this to work.

This is a definite deal breaker for an otherwise interesting browser.

If this isn't addressed, (now that I know there are no plans to *fix* it),
I will be uninstalling Chrome shortly.
