I am constantly puzzled by printer configuration. Every time I get it
right, I then discover that there are exceptions - applications that do
not use the general settings. Can anyone explain to me why the gimp
always has its own list of pinters and usually can print even when
nothing else can?
Even more important, why does mozilla have its own - usually
non-functioning - settings? Currently on the upstairs box mozilla
offers the following printers:
lp@:64
xp_ps_spooldir_tmp_Xprintjobs@:64
xp_pdf_spooldir_tmp_Xprintjobs@:64
PostScript/default
None of these makes any sense to me, and if I try to print I get the
usual unstoppable stream of raw postscript wasting reams of paper and
precious ink cartridges. Why do the cups printers not show up in
Mozilla? Is there a way to correct this?
TIA
