 Posted: Thu Aug 26, 2004 3:07 am Post subject: Printing in Firefox |
 |
|
I not sure if this is the right forum for this but...
I can't print in firefox. There is only one printer in the print dialog and its "PostScript/default" When I click print, it generates and everything, but it never prints. I can print in everything else. The print command looks like it needs some modification, but I don't know what to:
| Code: | | lpr ${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME} |

I just change it to: lpr -P<YOUR_PRINTER_HERE>. Of course if you just want the default printer, just lpr will do. HTH

Your default printer is set to the printer instance named "queue". The printer instance named "queue" points to /dev/null so nothing will ever be printed via the default printer.
Your best option is to set your default printer to point to "print" instead of "queue". How you do this depends on your print software, if you are using Cups you can just use the web interface, for others i dont know.
Otherwise you should just be able to add
| Code: | | export MOZ_PRINTER_NAME=print |
to your .bashrc to get printing working correctly in firebird. |

Thanks a lot. Now it works. However, I'm wondering, what is this cups web interface you are talking about? How do I access it?
