Erm...  I tried this on Ubuntu-jaunty.  I.e. printing the same HTML-page
from epiphany results in a PS/PDF file which is text-searchable; doing this
from gnome-web-photo seems to result in a PS/PDF which contains rasterised
pixel data only.  Shouldn't both programs use the same printing engine/lib?
