165791 - [ps] Custom print command is ignored

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 166217

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[Ed Swierk]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020827
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020827

When I click Print, then Properties for Postscript/default, and change the Print
Command to something like 

  kprinter --stdin

the new setting stays in effect for the current Mozilla session.  If I then
close Mozilla, the altered setting is written to prefs.js.

However, when I reopen Mozilla, click Print and then Properties, the Print
Command reverts to the default:

  lpr ${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME}

Mozilla then uses the default setting when I try printing a document.

So Mozilla seems to be ignoring the custom print command setting in prefs.js.


Reproducible: Always

I also see this problem on Sun/Solaris with Mozilla 1.1.

I think this bug is a duplicate of bug 166217 which is the active bug report
being worked on.

This should be FIXED now (by bug 166217 ("Print settings on Linux are saved at
shutdown but not read at next start")).

I hope [e-mail] will approve the matching patches for the
1.0.x-branch that 1.0.2 will ship with this fix...
