RE: Opensuse 10.2 as my desktop

As you can see I use gmail for my e-mail system.

I just sent an e-mail that I want to save on my local disk. Gmail does not offer a way to do that I know of, so I thought I would print the e-mail to a PDF.

I was kindly informed of the "kprinter" option in DIA a couple weeks ago that allowed me to select a PDF printer. I don't see a similar way to invoke kprinter from firefox.

Is there a magic incantation that I'm missing so far?

Is there another way to get firefox to create a pdf?

Is there another way to get firefox to create a pdf? It is pretty simple.

I WISH Firefox were more integrated with KDE (email, printing, file open/save dialogs) but... ...anyway, what you want to do is add a PDF printer to KDE.

When you print in Firefox, make sure the printer selected is Postscript/default. Then, click on properties and set the print command to "kprinter --stdin". -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

simply configure "kprinter" as print command in firefox, means replace "lpr" against it. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) email: adrian@suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

All, Of the various solutions proposed, I vote the below from Kai the cleanest. By using the print.printer_PostScript/Default.print_command kprinter --stdin print.always_print_silent true variables, it causes kprinter to be displayed as the first print dialog box each time. So after you set it up, you have a very clean integration of firefox printing with KDE. Thanks greg On 8/30/07, Kai Ponte wrote:

I have Print To File (PDF) in there.

When printing from Firefox, I select kprinter as my default printer in Firefox.

If this option is missing, simply add it.
