Mozilla doesnt see CUPS Printer


This is interesting. I have CUPS running, printing and acting just fine. Konqueror sees my CUPS printer, but Mozilla and Netscape dont see the CUPS printer at all. All it sees is some wierd device on LP. I dont have LP even configured. What could be causing this?

I am running Debian Sarge (testing) with Kernel 2.6.3, Gnome 2.4 and KDE 3.2.2

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I'm having kind of the same problem, I've got 2 printers on a Jet Direct print server, I can print in Mozilla to one of the printers. but i don't have an option for the 2nd.

Its quite odd.

Are you saying that lp doesn't work? If I recall correctly, CUPS sets up a daemon for both lp and lpr to print to the default printer. I think thats what I read from the CUPS documentation the other night.

It turns out it wasn't cups at all, it was just mozilla being stupid, once i manually entered the printers into unix.js, it worked like a charm.

thanks for the tip tho, i appreciate it
