Mozilla and SMB printing (it won't!)
I have a little issue with Mozilla 1.7. My local printer is down (Deskjet 1000c, waiting on a power supply board) so I had to reconfigure my CUPS printing through SMB to another computer running Windoze. I can print from virtually every program -- except Mozilla. When I click on "print", the dialog box only gives a choice between one printer option "Postscript default" and printing to file. In "Properties", the print command it gives is:
"lpr ${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME}" When I click "print", the progress box pops up, quickly goes to 100%, but then hangs for about 10 seconds, with absolutely NOTHING getting sent to the remote printer. The only way I can print from Mozilla is to print to file, then use Konqueror or another PS viewer to print it that way. Any suggestions? (Other than dump Mozilla? :scratch: ) Thanks in advance. |
debian has a cupsys-bsd package, which has an lpr emulator for cups printers.

mozilla printing
hello
In "Properties", the print command it gives is: "lpr ${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME}" instead of the above print command give the command as "lpr -P printername" Try this u will get a print. Or to avoid this step install Xprint so that when u click on print in the drop down menu instead of postscript/default u will get the whole printer list. |

Mine works with
Code:
lpr-cups ${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME} |

FOLLOWUP: Yep, they were all (lp, lpr, etc.) were all linked to use lprng, had to change them all to cups. |
