The problem seems to be on the mozilla side. Getting another version usually helps. The present mozilla-browser-snapshot (from Sid) prints OK with lprng. Regards, Jan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Use Postscript/Default in Mozilla's print dialog. As print command in the properties for Postscript/Default insert kprinter --stdin (without the quotes).

Re: how to get MOzilla to print to Cups printer through kprint
If you are not able to print at all, these are the instructions you
need. Follow them exactly.
http://www.linuxprinting.org/cups-doc.html
If you have a DeskJet like I do, you will need to download the tar file
and compile the driver locally. You can find the tar file here with
instructions at: http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/install.php
Inside the above file you will find the PPD and Foomatic files. I know
this sounds like a bunch of hoops to jump through but it does really
work by taking one step at a time.
Once the above is finished, you will be able to print with Mozilla using
the following command.
Goto File-Print. With Printer: PostScript/default selected, click
Properties. Using the instruction I showed in the begining put the
following command in the Print Command area:
lp -d fool -o PrintoutMode=Draft
${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME}
The print-spooler is named fool in the example at the top.
I just did all of this over the weekend. Its sweet once you get it
working.

If you have the cupsys-bsd package installed, then the
Default/Postscript selection in Mozilla works just fine for me.
Recent changes in X (from testing) have introduced Xprint on my system,
which I am just starting to expore. It is supposed to interface recent
versions of Mozilla with CUPS too, but I don't know enuf about it to be
able to advise you...sorry.

doe sit just send the data directly to cups?
I would guess so... I don't have anything else installed on my system
that would accept it! (Like lprng, lpr, etc).
I don't really know the physical routing the Mozilla stuff takes, but it
eventually winds up in the CUPS printing system without any extra effort
on my part. Just hit print in Mozilla, accept the default/postscript
printer and it does it's thing...
