Firefox paper size you specified is not supported by your printer
Hi,
I have printer working fine in Debian (SID). It uses A4 paper. It does not work at all from firefox unfortunatelly.
Every time I go into Print menu the paper size is still Letter in printer propoerties. Even if I chane it to A4 it gives message:
Code:
Printer Error: There was a problem printing because the paper size you specified is not supported by your printer.
This are my Firefox preferences, I have reinstalled it with --purge option, It did not help.
Code:

I use:

cupsys 1.1.23-15 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - server
Here is my /etc/cups/printers.conf
Code:
# Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.1.23

Info HP LaserJet 1100 printer

Accepting Yes
JobSheets none none
QuotaPeriod 0
PageLimit 0
KLimit 0
</Printer>
Paper size is defined for KDE to A4
Code:
cat /etc/papersize
a4
The funny thing is that if you choose Letter in the printer properties and print to file you get proper Postscript file with output.
Any help apprieciated.

Hello,
When you go to print, what printer does it say is selected? It should say LaserJet. If it says PostScript, then you can click it and select your printer.
I hope that this helps.

It doesn't get that far. This message appears as soon as you select print. No options to choose printers....

DaveQB,
Your post doesn't make any sense.
Do you realise you have posted to a thread which died three years ago ?
Please don't do this.
Please do start a new thread with as accurate and comprehensive a description of your problem as you can.

I think it does make sense.
JMJ_coder was asking about printer selection. sO I responded saying you don't even get that choice.
Anyway, the solution is found here:
http://forums.xandros.com/viewtopic.php?t=27050
We should change the originaly posts heading to prepend [SOLVED] to it. Good for when searching for this problem like I was. |
