I integrate firefox to kdeprinter. The following I got it from one of the ubuntu threads, unfortunately I do not have the URL to give the credit to who wrote it :-(. It works great.
Firefox: 1. First, if you haven't done so, you need to print to PostScript in order for the needed entry in prefs.js to be populated. This will be done automatically the first time you print. Open any web page and go to: File --> Print --> choose PostScript/default (it should be the default if you haven't installed any printers yet) --> click "Print" Once you have done this and it prints, it'll add the PostScript entry you need to edit. 2. In the URL bar, type Code: about:config to open the config page. 3. In the "Filter" bar, type Code: print.printer_PostScript/default.print_command This should filter everything out but that line. 4. Right-click on the line, click on "Modify", and change the entry to say Code: kprinter then click OK. This will make Firefox print to kprinter any time you select the "PostScript/default" printer. 5. Right-click anywhere in the white space, then click on "New --> Boolean" to add a new Boolean entry. Type Code: print.always_print_silent and set its value to "true". This will force Firefox to print to the default printer without prompting you. If "PostScript/default" is the only printer you have and there are no local / network printers, it works great and you can stop here. But if you installed a printer through CUPS, it complicates things as Firefox will want to use that as a default and all your prints will go there without prompting you! So even if you don't have a local printer, it's a good idea to add the following line in case you add one later. 6. Once again, right-click and choose "New --> Boolean". Type Code: print.postscript.cups.enabled and set its value to "false". That will disable CUPS printing in Firefox, and it will default to the "PostScript/default" printer. And since you've changed the output of that to kprinter, you'll see a "processing" dialog for a split second when you print, after which kprinter will open up. There you can choose all your printers, including PDF, PostScript, and any CUPS installed printers . I do have other solutions but this one is the one I am using Ciao -=terry(Denver)=- On Sat, 2007-04-21 at 15:22 -0600, Donald D Henson wrote: > (OpenSUSE 10.2, Firefox 2.0.0.2Pre, HP Deskjet 6122) > > Firefox has a printing problem, or so it seems.
