Marc-Antoine, Sverrir and I actually did basic printer settings preferences a way back, (the definition of it) you can view the code here: http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome?view=rev&revision=13426 The definition of the preferences for printing (so far) is defined as follows: "printing": { "page": { "header": { "left": " ", "center": " ", "right": " " }, "footer": { "left": "{date}", "center": " ", "right": " " } } } Those are not hooked up yet to our printing yet, and would be great to do so. We can offer other preferences for printing there as well. But make sure you inform Marc-Antoine (maruel@) and the group before doing anything. I don't think its ideal to put --printer configurations in the command line parameter, it shouldn't be like that and it becomes confusing and cluttered. We already have a place in preferences for "printing". If you want, I can assist you on the Windows portion (I am an external contributor so my time is usually limited). There is a lot printing related issues related to threads that need to be fixed first before hooking it up the preferences printer settings to chrome. http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/list?q=label:Printing > Let us know and let me know if you need a Windows SideKick :) -- Chromium Developers mailing list: chromium-dev@googlegroups.com View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev
