When printing from Mozilla (1.2.1), their is no choice of printers - it always prints to the default. mozilla.org says that I need to run Xprint.

Can anyone confirm this and, if so, do I have to do a complete X11 install to get it or is there some other way? TIA.

I had the same problem: the solution seems to be to edit a file called /opt/mozilla/defaults/pref/unix.js. Here's the changes I made.

This works for me: In unix.js: pref("print.print_command", "lpr ${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME}"); pref("print.printer_list", "lp lp1 lp2 lp3 lp4 lp5 lp6 lp7"); // list of printers, where lp lp1 lp2 etc are the printer names you setup for cups with yast2 -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation

And if you are running CUPS an easy way to see your list of printers (and manage them) is to point your browser to http://localhost:631. -- ___________________________________________________________________ A Message From... L. Mark Stone http://www.lmstone.com

Very true. One can administer printers for the system this way, but the question was how to get Mozilla/Netscape to see all of these printers and give a choice. Most of the time Mozilla/Netscape under Linux give you a choice of the first in the list only and one has to force it to list all of the available printers. It's a serious feature lack in Mozilla, but the above settings are a pretty easy work around. :)

Use kprinter as printer command instead of lpr. And you get all the features kprinter offers. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

Stupid question probably but when using this web interface I get prompted for a username and password when I try to do management things like "add printer." What username and password is this? Where do I configure this? It's not the username I logged on with so I'm confused.

Thanks,

In Mozilla try to click on PRINT. A new box comes up. Choose PROPERTIES and I think that you have the lpr there ?. Then you after the lpr writes lpr -Pxx.

The xx is the name of your wanted printer.
