Printing from Mozilla and Firefox
Hi
Until recently, printing from Firefox and Mozilla was working fine,
however, following recent upgrades first Firefox (0.8-12) baulked and
later Mozilla (1.7-2) became similarly afflicted.
There are two networked printers on separate woody servers running cups
and locally, I'm running cups on a Mac G4 (sid). On selecting File
Print, I used to get an option "postcript/default" which would print
fine to the Epson. Selecting any of the other options (xprt or specific
printers caused mozilla/Firefox to crash. Now after reboot I get four
options from File>Print: the two named printers and xprt versions of the
same printers. The Postscript default has vanished. If I reopen the
browser and select Print, I get:
"There was a problem printing. No printer could be found."
Is anyone else experiencing similar problems? I've googled and found
references to old versions of Mozilla giving problems but nothing
relating the these two current versions. One post that did relate to
firefox suggested that I need xprt-xprintorg installed - it is. But
cups was working fine; do I really have to configure xprt instead?.
TIA
Clive
