Re: [opensuse] Firefox 3.x will not print

Hi Francesco.

Thanks for the clue. Unfortunatelly, didn't work here. Changed all may
strings pointing to "letter" to "A4", and there is a lot of them, but
not working. :(

I don't know if there is a trick that can be done with greps to find
the values, but that depends on the type of configuration files in
firefox. If there is and somebody knows, we could try to compare the
configuration files from each one.  :)

How did you know that it was trying to print in letter? I mean, thre
are lots of entries, including specific ones for tabloid, A3, A5,
etc...

Thanks a lot anyway. I'll try again later.

I had the same problem with firefox. It was due to the fact that firefox

FF 3.x will not print on any of my 11.0, 11.1 or Factory 11.2 systems (4
machines tried so far), while everything I've tried except FF 3.x has no
problem printing.

You definitely have something amiss locally.  I have no problem
printing:

MozillaFirefox-3.5.2-2.3
x86_64 Factory/M5
cups-1.3.11-19.1
gutenprint-5.0.2-7.3
kdebase4-4.3.0-104.1

I only tried 11.1 & Factory to see if the same problem exists there also. I
have on 32 bit 11.0 where it needs to work:
MozillaFirefox-3.5.2-1.2
cups-1.3.7-25.8
gutenprint-5.0.2-13.1
kdebase3-3.5.9-65.2

Like I wrote, Firefox 3.5.2 on Windows and other openSUSE apps and printer
test page work. My printing problem is unique to Linux FF3.
