------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-07-09 11:47 ------- I doubt the native PostScript code in mozilla will be fixed by mozilla authors in upstream. Basically because IMHO it's not possible to fix it without rewriting or merging the whole xprint code into mozilla. Some time ago I asked to the xprint author why xprint code it's not merged into the mozilla itself, and he answered that xprint in this way, i.e. as a daemon, is more functional, as could be used by more than one application. Note that xprint is a rewriting and improving of an already existing Xprt, which is part of XFree86 (but basically broken to produce the same good level of xprint PostScript output). IMHO for xprint to get ready for main it would still needs of a couple of things: 1) An init script with support for success|failure. This is a minor requirement. I tried this but it's a PITA... 2) Better integration with cups (or other printing system). Mozilla uses the XPRINTER env var for knowing the default printer queue; there should be sincronization between such var and the user default printer queue. On xprint 007 I tried to use the following command in a /etc/profile.d script export XPRINTER="\`foomatic-configure -q -Q 2>&1| grep defaultqueue | sed -e '[EMAIL PROTECTED]@@g' -e's@<>@@g' -e 's@</>@@g'\`" but substantially had two problems: a) is slow and causes every new shell lauched a non-negligible delay. b) causes long timeouts to shells launched, if machine is not networked, a printer server not launched or DNS is not responding. so I removed it. Alternatively it could be modified the mozilla code near the XPRINTER env var checking to get the default "per user" printer there (certainly this is too late for 9.2). -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEW creation_date: description: When printing the URL above, the utf-8 chars are replaced by a small square character.
