Everytime I would like to print an eMail (printer HP Laserjet 2200, 4050, 2100,
4100) I have to open the front flap (for individual papers) and put in extra
paper, otheriwse it won

Reporter:
Do you set any paper size before printing ? Does it help when you set a paper
size which matches the paper size for the "automatic" tray (I assume DIN-A4 in
your case) ?

Comment 2

[James Cox]

this is not evang...

Comment 3

[Sebastian Späth]

I think this is related to the bug "printer not picking up system defaults" (it
tried e.g. to print "letter" sized each time, although the default is A4.
I think this bug might already be fixed in a recent nightly...

Comment 6

[sujay]

don't we have a DUP on this somewhere?

Comment 7

[Roland Mainz]

bug 127646 ("Need Getter/Setter for paper name in nsIPrintSettings") is a RFE to
add the paper name to nsIPrintSettings (and then the paper name carries the tray
name on demand (due the relationship between trays and medium sizes...)), e.g.
"DIN-A4" if there are no trays and "main/DINA-a4" for DIN-A4 in the "main" tray.
"manual/DIN-A4" would mean DIN-A4 paper size in the "manual tray" etc.

Confirming on basis of comments. Setting this to depend on bug 127646.

Comment 9

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

bug 127646 has been fixed. This bug still exists, AFAICT

Is this still reproducible in a recent version of Firefox?
If so, what are the exact steps to reproduce it?
