Firefox to change to the real default printer instead of his own idea of what should be the default printer?
If you want to parse through Kprinter, these are the hints I give to my students on how to setup printing in Firefox:
Not really, because I don't use kde normally.
1.1.To send print jobs through Kprinter, enter as URL "about:config", then change the entry "print.postscript.print_command", "print.print_command" and "print.printer_Postscript/default.print_command" to Value: "kprinter".
print.print_command does not exist. print.postscript.print_command = lpr ${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME} print.printer_PostScript/default.print_command = lpr ${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME} So that is correct. Then, I have: print.print_printer = CUPS/tofile which is the printer I want to have, but still when I try to print mozilla (I mean, firefox) pops the print dialog with the previous printer selected, and the one I want half way down the list.
When printing select "PostScript/default" as "Printer Name".
I did that once, yes, but the choice in the dialog does not stick. And that "PostScript/default" does not print to my system default printer as defined in cups (it prints to tp0). I could hack those to the name I want, but I don't like that. I will forget the default string when I want to put it back and will have to ask here again O:-)
1.2.To prevent cropping of header and footer when printing, change "Gap from edge to Margin" to 0.25 inches in all sides in Printer / Properties in the Print window. (this was just a bonus hint ;)
Ah, yes... I have them at the default .14 inches. Should change that, probably. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
