712479 - stale pref keeps print-to-file from defaulting to PDF

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 691430

(Core :: Printing: Setup, defect)

Description

[David Dahl :ddahl]

Attachment: default to postscript screenshot

My profile did not default to printing to file in PDF format. 

See screengrab, the filename is ".ps" and defaults to postscript

Changing 2 prefs (in myprofile/prefs.js) that looked like:

user_pref("printer_MG5200LAN.print_to_filename", "/home/ddahl/mozilla.ps");

to 

user_pref("printer_MG5200LAN.print_to_filename", "/home/ddahl/mozilla.pdf");

fixes this problem

ah, sorry for asking you to file this, David -- it looks like I already filed a similar bug (and then forgot about it). :)

duping...
