Re: [opensuse] Firefox 3.x will not print

I had the same problem with firefox. It was due to the fact that firefox tried to print to letter paper size instead of A4, the only available to my printers. The printer dialog does not allow to change the paper size. I found two solutions. The first was to "ask" for the print preview and to set the correct page size before printing. The second was to go to about:config, to look for the "print" related items and set everywhere A4 as default. I hope this my help you. For me, it worked.

FF 3.x will not print on any of my 11.0, 11.1 or Factory 11.2 systems (4 machines tried so far), while everything I've tried except FF 3.x has no problem printing.

You definitely have something amiss locally.  I have no problem printing:

...

MozillaFirefox-3.5.2-2.3 x86_64 Factory/M5 cups-1.3.11-19.1 gutenprint-5.0.2-7.3 kdebase4-4.3.0-104.1

I only tried 11.1 & Factory to see if the same problem exists there also. I have on 32 bit 11.0 where it needs to work: MozillaFirefox-3.5.2-1.2 cups-1.3.7-25.8 gutenprint-5.0.2-13.1 kdebase3-3.5.9-65.2

Like I wrote, Firefox 3.5.2 on Windows and other openSUSE apps and printer test page work. My printing problem is unique to Linux FF3. -- How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver. Proverbs 16:16 NKJV
