Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 185588

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Changing the printer properties for european use
Paper Size:    A4 (8.3x11.7 inch)
Print Command: lpr -Ptinte
was ok in mozilla-1.2.1.

But now in mozilla-1.3a in prefs.js and prefs.bak appear ugly entries without
any memorizing these changes.

In prefs.js appear as many ugly entries as I have made changes in the printer
properties. (That will be later a huge file size!?)


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.In the printer properties I change paper size to A4 and print command to
  lpr -Ptinte
2.After new start of mozilla-1.3a no memorizing these changes. 
3.In prefs.js appear as many ugly entries as I change the printer properties   
     after restart mozilla!


Actual Results:  
In prefs.js:

user_pref("print.[some ugly characters]", "lpr -Ptinte");

No memorizing the changes!

Expected Results:  
mozilla-1.3a has to memorize changes in the printer properties with well
readable entries in prefs.js ... so as this was in mozilla-1.2.1.

user_pref("print.printer_PostScript/default.print_command", "lpr -Ptinte");
user_pref("print.printer_PostScript/default.paper_name", "A4");

Memorizing the changes of the printer properties!!

Sounds like a duplicate of bug 185588 ("Changed printing preferences are saved
corrupted in prefs.js") ...
