Problem mainly solved. The intermittent USB problem remains. Thanks, once again Camaleón, for asking the right questions so that the NUT would finally troubleshoot the problem correctly. Very Best Regardas Wayne, the NUT Note: I could not test printing on Stable due to the cup fixes for a USB to Parallel adapter are in Wheezy and Sid. I did not check backports for the required files.

By just one moment I thought I have also lost the "text selection" option... I wonder the reason for this change, in Firefox 10 it is located as always has been. Anyway, you have to select some text for that option to become "selectable". Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

You can download Firefox from upstream and check from there. If the
missing option ("print selected") is present here, then try using a new
profile with Iceweasel. If still no luck, you can consider in opening a
bug report at Debian BTS.
The Print Selection is also missing in the nightly build of FireFox and
Aurora.
So it seems to NOT be an iceweasel problem but something else. Now to
find out what that something is.

Wow... if the upstream firefox also lacks for that printing option I
don't even know where to look at (fluxbox, firefox...) :-?
Have you considered in opening a bug report in Firefox's bugzilla? Maybe
they can point you to the right direction.
Prior to the following tests i tried both icewm and blackbox.
The problem, (no Print Selection option available) remains.
I have just completed a test of the following:
Stable running iceweasel 3.5.16 Print Selection available YES
Testing (upgraded from squeeze 6.0.3) iceweasel 8.0-3b1 NO
Testing-2 9 (from Debian testing Cut) iceweasel 8.0-3b1 NO
Sid ( from upgraded debian-6.0.3/wheezt/sid) iceweasel 9.0.1-1 NO
Wheezy/Sid (from upgraded debian-6.0.3/) iceweasel 9.0.1-1 NO
Mozilla firefox iceweasel 9.0.1-1 NO
Mozilla Aurora iceweasel 9.0.1 NO
Note: I could not test printing on Stable due to the cup fixes for a

Google show this has been reported many times in the last 4 years. So
they know about it already. Somewhere in the back of my head I keep
thinking that there is 'something' external to firefox causing this and
it is, or was, gconf.n As I don't rune gnome, tried it for an hour once
and hated it, I try to avoid 'any' gnome packages.
Woops, just checked and I had two gome packages installed. Removing
them and restarting iceweasel didn't help. ;-(
I believe that I saw the same problem on stable, 2 different testing
installs, and on sid. I will check them know and report back.
Till then, Best Regards
Wayne

Yes but what? I have been using fluxbox for 2-3 years and, before the

I think Firefox/Iceweasel menu and options can vary depending on the DE.
Let's see if anyone else using fluxbox and iceweasel in Wheezy reads
this and can say if the print Option 'Print Selection' is in their
iceweasel. Please??
