Hello,

I've 3 printers defined with Cups (in fact, the two languages that my
printer accepts, postscript and PCL, and a virtual PDF printer, with
the cups-pdf backend).

But in Mozilla, the print-windows shows only a "PostScript/Default" as
printer.

Yet in other applications, like OpenOffice, or xpp (X Printing Panel
http://cups.sourceforge.net/xpp/ ), all the printers are
available. And the name "PostScript/Default" that appears in Mozilla
doesn't exist.

gv@fantasio:~$ lpstat -p
printer pcl is idle. enabled since Jan 01 00:00
printer pdf is idle. enabled since Jan 01 00:00
printer ps is idle. enabled since Jan 01 00:00

Can someone tell me if it's possible to configure the printers in Mozilla ?

My versions are Mozilla 1.4, cups-1.1.19 and Slack 9.1

Thanks in advance,
--

If you are running kde then set mozilla to run kprint which will then give
you the printer options you require. To do this click on print in Mozilla.
in the dialog box that pops up click on properties. In the next dialog set
the printer command to kprint.

^^^^

"kprint" might work, but if not use "kprinter" instead.

Just add this line to your ~/.mozilla/[...]/[...].slt/prefs.js:

user_pref("print.printer_list", "pcl pdf ps");

and restart your browser.

You may add them through ``about:config'' also.


Hope this helps,

Small correction:

> Just add this line to your ~/.mozilla/[...]/[...].slt/prefs.js:
--------------------------------------------------------^^^^^^^^-(1)

(1) You should use ``user.js'', if you do not want your settings to be
overwritten by your browser (under some circrumstances). The format
of ``user.js'' (in case you don't have one) is similar to ``prefs.js''.

Best regards,
