pref("print.printer_list", "sp925 xpp kprinter"); // list of printers, seperated by spaces ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the line is approx 30% down the file.

It doesn't work for Mozilla (latest release), and I'll try with Netscape later today when I get home. With Moz., the printer keeps passing blank paper.....endlessly. Thanks. Fred -- Fred A. Miller Systems Administrator Cornell Univ. Press Services fm@cupserv.org, www.cupserv.org

As a followup, NADA! 'Just spits out paper, no matter what "quality" I've chosen in Kprinter. I can't believe that the folks working on Moz. are that ignorant about the MANDATE to be able to print correctly! Some recent new converts to SuSE (and Linux) are most unhappy that they can't print out an occasional piece of mail and web page. No, they SHOULDN'T have to change to different software. Moz. and NS should work properly.

I remember I had the same problem (16 blank pages before actual printout). My problem was solved by changing the printer driver in CUPS. I just switched to driver named "CUPS+gimp" and after that all went O.K. I changed my driver through CUPS admin interface http://localhost:631, where I took "modify printer" option... HTH cikasole

Appear : lpr ${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME} What I need to change?

In /opt/mozilla/defaults/pref/unix.js (If you have your Mozilla in /opt. Try to open an editor, and have a look in thhis file. There is a line: pref("print.printer_list", ""); // list of printers, ^^^ Here you put in the name of your printers.
