Some email messages claiming to be from facebook.com seem to have gotten passed our spam filter recently. If you get too many emails from any one particular address you can always blacklist that address by running, on coxeter
replacing notification@facebook.com with the actual troublesome email address. (Of course legitimate email from that address will also no longer get through.)

If you would like to have a printer selection dialog box come up when you try to print from firefox then you need to edit the prefs.js file that firefox uses. This file is normally called
/home/your_account_name/.mozilla/firefox/random_8_character_string.default/prefs.jsYou would then delete the following three lines
user_pref("print.always_print_silent", true);
user_pref("print.postscript.cups.enabled", false);
user_pref("print.printer_PostScript/default.print_command", "kprinter");
which were added at one time due to problems with the Red Hat print subsystem.
