Details

On the print confirmation page (what I get when I hit the print button) the Printer section gives me a choice of printing to a printer or file. I seem to be unable to specify more than one printer here. (despite having more than one printer defined in /etc/printcap) I tried adding more printers to prefs.js by having user_pref("print.printer_PostScript/default.... and also a user_pref("print.printer_PostScript/color.... but of course only the default showed up in the pulldown. it's a pulldown so it appears I should be able to have more than one printer there.
bz, do we have a bug on this ?
ccing someone who may actually know
This is a DUPlicate of bug 135695 ("[ps] Use /etc/printcap to set default printer names and commands") ... ... solution would be to use Mozilla's Xprint-module which looks-up the list of available printers dynamically. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 135695 ***
