Hi,

Hmm. I tried the shift key and reloaded, shows up as guest user. Command
line tools work fine.  Cleared my cache and restarted browser. Still get
guest user when printing
Test Page via both https and http. Printing an arbitrary webpage works
as me. So I guess
there is no real problem but it is curious. Btw, I'm using firefox on
Ubuntu/breezy.
