[Bug 29622] Re: Firefox does not print the headers and footers.
This is a problem of the browsers, as they can find out about the unprintable margins of the printer by means of the CUPS API. The CUPS API gives access to the complete content of the PPD file and the PPD contains the margin info. So this bug has to be assigned to both the printing part of the Gecko engine and the printing part of Konqueror. The bug is not in CUPS, CUPS has everything to tell the apps how big the unprintable margins of each configured printer are. ** Changed in: cupsys (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: cupsys = firefox ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Status: Needs Info = Confirmed ** Also affects: kdebase (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed ** Changed in: kdebase (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Medium Status: Unconfirmed = Confirmed ** Summary changed: - Firefox does not print the headers and footers. + Many web browsers not print the headers and footers. -- Many web browsers not print the headers and footers. https://launchpad.net/bugs/29622 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Please try this with a different browser (maybe konquerer and see if it still happens. Ive been playing with it here and i can reproduce this but i think its in cups not browser. im gonna test konq. now and see if it still happens. -- Firefox does not print the headers and footers. https://launchpad.net/bugs/29622 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Changed this to cupsys due to it is the same in non gecko browsers so its either printers or cups issue. ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: firefox = cupsys Assignee: Mozilla Team = (unassigned) -- Firefox does not print the headers and footers. https://launchpad.net/bugs/29622 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 29622] Re: Firefox does not print the headers and footers.
Well, for an example I printed this page with firefox to my default printer with default settings, but I checked the print to file checkbox, so I can show the results. I converted the ps into a pdf. My printer cannot print that close to the edges, that's one thing. I can set bigger edges in File-Print-Properties and it works. I suspect default edges (0.04) are set in inches, but on my system are interpreted as millimeters. Is that possible? However, I STILL (after all those years of mozilla developers fighting this point of view) regard not being able to set up any advanced options (such as duplex printing) from GUI _AND_ having to use a completely different print dialog compared to other, more gnome-integrated parts of the system, a total usability failure ** Attachment added: A print of this page from firefox to file. http://librarian.launchpad.net/5860777/test.pdf -- Firefox does not print the headers and footers. https://launchpad.net/bugs/29622 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Is this still and issue for you?

[Bug 29622] Re: Firefox does not print the headers and footers.
I have the exact same problem. My printer, a Brother MFC-8440, will print the header and footer when using the Windows driver and Firefox (1.5 or 2.0) but when using the Linux equivalent, no header or footer is to be seen. I don't know I fix, but I do know that this is the root of the problem. -- Firefox does not print the headers and footers. https://launchpad.net/bugs/29622 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 29622] Re: Firefox does not print the headers and footers.
I believe the problem is with the printer: firefox, by default, prints headers and footers very close to the edge of the paper and many consumer printers do not support printing on the edges. Anyhow, printing in Firefox in Linux should be improved (setting edges is unreliable, you cannot set any useful printer options, ...), if not by the Firefox team, maybe Ubuntu developers could take the job? I don't know about xprint, but AFAIK Ubuntu build has xprint disabled. Does it feature a more complete printer-options interface? -- Firefox does not print the headers and footers. https://launchpad.net/bugs/29622 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
