Mozilla Firefox and Report Viewer Print control

Has anyone gotten the print control in report viewer to work with Firefox?
One of our clients insists on using firefox and we would like to use
reporting services. I found and downloaded the Mozilla Activex control and
plugin support, added the CLSID for the RSClientPrint control, but have not
had any success in having the control show up in the report viewer.
Microsoft's knowledge base talks about what does and doesn't work in Firefox,
but mentions only that the print control does not work in Safari. Any help
would be greatly appreciated!Hello HK,
Based on my research, the RSClinetPrint ActiveX Control also did not
support for the FireFox browser.
As an alternate, you could export the Report to PDF or Excel and then print
it.
Also, you may print the report in the FireFox directly.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,

Just a thought. Perhaps you could check the IETab plugin?
B.|||Thank you for your response.
After searching through the knowledge base, we decided to programatically
render the reports in pdf through the web service. This works well in firefox
and provides us with printing capability without having a two step process to
print (using report viewer and then exporting to pdf).

installed, we couldn't use it.
