Hi,

I just installed opensolaris b117 and wanted to print from firefox 3.5b4.

I have a remote CUPS server and in order to use this server I disabled on the 
opensolaris system the
services svc:/application/cups/in-lpd:default and 
svc:/application/cups/scheduler:default.
Then I installed the /etc/cups/client.conf file with informations about the 
remote CUPS server.

Afterwards lpstat is showing the printers on the CUPS server. If  I open 
OpenOffice, the print dialog is also showing the correct printers.

But the firefox browser, opened with an account which has no .mozilla 
directory, shows only the possibility of
printing to file. I had a look at the new .mozilla directory, created by the 
browser, and surprisingly it shows in
prefs.js the default printer of the CUPS system, but only this one. Even if 
restarting the browser with this
information he continues to show up only the "print to file" option.

On an Solaris8 system with firefox 2.0.0.20 all printers of the remote CUPS 
server are shown.

Is this a known issue and if not, how can I resolve this situation?

Thanks for any hints
Reiner Wenke
