326245 - Print commands do not cope with spaces in printer names

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[Ian Jackson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20060127 Ubuntu/1.5.dfsg-4ubuntu5 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20060127 Ubuntu/1.5.dfsg-4ubuntu5 Firefox/1.5

print.postscript.print_command and print.print_command's default values should be changed as follows, so that they work correctly if the printer name contains whitespace:

-pref("print.postscript.print_command", "lpr ${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME}");
+pref("print.postscript.print_command", "lpr ${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+-P\"$MOZ_PRINTER_NAME\"}");


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
On an Ubuntu system, use the gnome print manager to add several copies of the same network printer.  The subsequent copies will have spaces in their names.  Now try to print from Firefox to one of those printers.  (NB that I have patched Ubuntu's firefox with the change above).
