What is the current wisdom on printing from Firefox? It appears that from firefox-60 the ability to generale ps was removed, so the lpd backend was also removed.
There is a reference and a patch to add back print to lpd (but not generate ps) for FreeBSD at: https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-gecko/2018-May/008327.html Currently I have a google cloudprint enabled printer, so for anything where I don't mind the print data bouncing via any number of cloud boxes I can print to a PDF file, then just upload to cloudprint. However this feels... suboptimal :) I can easily setup lpd, and probably throw in a PDF and PS to whatever-my-random-epson supports filter, but if Firefox won't print to lpd then its not ideal - though presumably we could add a patch to add back in the lpd backend Its been about two decades since I last setup cups :), - I ran through the basic setup, but even though cupsd was running and I could see the printer firefox did not show it (did all the standard reset printer values in firefox & restart, but the print dialog still just shows print to file). Also I then have the stupid joy of /usr/bin/lpd and /usr/pkg/bin/lpd and friends. What are other people doing? Thanks David
