[opensuse] Printing (size) problem in Firefox
The following problem does not occur when printing from Opera, Konqueror, or other applicatons, and is associated only with Firefox. There is only one printer here, and it uses A4 size paper. Firefox seems to think the paper size is Letter, because it breaks pages at such a point that the upper portion of the printed page is empty, and only enough of the page to occupy Letter-size paper is printed. I do not see a setting for this in Firefox's Preference notebook. In About:config, I find one mention of "Letter", at: <print.postscript.paper_size>, and have changed that to "A4", but this does not solve the problem. There is a LARGE number of printer-related lines in About:config, some of them even mentioning "size", e.g.: <print.printer_CUPS/Brother.print.paper_size>, which has the value of "0" (which I find hard to interpret because there are several other lines that also mention size). There is a line <print.print_printer> which has the value "CUPS/Brother", so I am assuming that Firefox does print through CUPS, and CUPS does not seem to be the offender. I think this problem arose at about the time that there was an automatic update to Firefox v2.0.0.14, but I cannot be certain of that. Can someone offer a suggestion? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Have you tried looking at the settings here File > Page Setup or here File > Print... > Preferences? I remember having to set page margins in Firefox 2 to get it to work with any printer. So maybe there is a paper size setting at one of those locations that you can set. I know that Firefox 3 has a Paper Size setting at File > Page Setup. Sorry, but I don't have Firefox 2 handy at the moment. I hope this helps. Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
