[04-10-04 14:24]: how do I get the OO.org printer or perhaps 'system' configured printer configured correctly under Mozilla1.6?
I have had a look under the preferences and haven't found anything yet.
If you're running KDE, simply replace the printer command with "kprinter". In Moz: File-->Print-->Properties, Print Command = kprinter. You'll get the same dialog box you get in Ooo.
Dan, You are THE man. Tnx Now printing is working 100's on Mozilla 1.6
I read your response to my post, Sorry if it rubbed you up the wrong way a little.
IIANM, I believe that you will find that lpr is the same print queue that kprinter utilizes. But kprinter raises another graphical window for you to alter your print configurations. I am pretty sure it does, but the more graphical windows there are the easier it is for an old time Windows user like me to understand.
To test, 'cat ~/.lpoptions', then make a change in kprinter to your margins or print quality, etc, and again 'cat ~/.lpoptions' to see if the changes you made with kprinter are reflected in .lpoptions. I did the cat thing and got this: hylton@linux:~> cat ~/.lpoptions Default Epson_Stylus_800+ Special Advanced%20Faxing%20Tool%20(ksendfax) Special Mail%20PDF%20file Special Print%20to%20File%20(PDF) Special Print%20to%20File%20(PostScript) Special Send%20to%20Fax
I then changed the margin and got: hylton@linux:~> cat ~/.lpoptions Default printer kde-margin-bottom=48 kde-margin-left=24 kde-margin-right=24 kde-margin-top=100 Special Advanced%20Faxing%20Tool%20(ksendfax) Special Mail%20PDF%20file Special Print%20to%20File%20(PDF) Special Print%20to%20File%20(PostScript) Special Send%20to%20Fax I am certainly glad for the GUI as there is no way I could have remembered the syntax used there. :) I decided to change the margin back and got: hylton@linux:~> cat ~/.lpoptions Default printer Special Advanced%20Faxing%20Tool%20(ksendfax) Special Mail%20PDF%20file Special Print%20to%20File%20(PDF) Special Print%20to%20File%20(PostScript) Special Send%20to%20Fax Now I notice that Default printer is not named like it was in the first cat. How come, as I didn't change the name at all? Is it because the printer was off whilst I was catting and changing a margin?
In the same respect, you could print to xpp and achieve the same. Don't go there...my poor brain is still working on lpr :)
Thanks for the effort taken to explain to me.
