Re: [opensuse] creating a PDF from firefox?

[Greg Freemyer]

All,

Of the various solutions proposed, I vote the below from Kai the cleanest.

By using the

  print.printer_PostScript/Default.print_command   kprinter --stdin
  print.always_print_silenttrue

variables, it causes kprinter to be displayed as the first print
dialog box each time.

So after you set it up, you have a very clean integration of firefox
printing with KDE.

Thanks

If you don't mind losing some of the features that Gmail has to offer I think 
Thunderbird 2.0 has support with Gmail.  I not to sure though, its been a 
while sense I used Thunderbird.

simply configure "kprinter" as print command in firefox, means replace "lpr" 
against it.

When you print in Firefox, make sure the printer selected is
Postscript/default.  Then, click on properties and set the print command
to "kprinter --stdin".

It is pretty simple.

I WISH Firefox were more integrated with KDE (email, printing, file open/save 
dialogs) but...

...anyway, what you want to do is add a PDF printer to KDE. 

Geeko > Configure Desktp > Peripherals > Printers

I have Print To File (PDF) in there.

When printing from Firefox, I select  kprinter as my default printer in 
Firefox.

This is copied from a KUbuntu forum post.

You have to write about:config in the address bar and change here the 
print.printer_PostScript/default.print_command to kprinter --stdin.

For KPrinter to work, you have to choose Postscript/default (leaving "Print to 
file" unchecked) and then click the Print button. 

At this point you will get the KPrinter dialog and be able to print to pdf, 
postscript, etc, and of course to the real printers.

It is possible to suppress the print dialog so that it looks like it's 
printing seamlessly via KPrinter by setting the boolean 
print.always_print_silent to true in about:config. 

If this option is missing, simply add it.

print.printer_PostScript/Default.print_command   kprinter --stdin
print.always_print_silenttrue

1. Click on the printer icon
2. Properties
3. For the print command use kprinter
4. Click OK
5. Click on print

All Done. It will now use kprinter for the printer.

Re: [opensuse] creating a PDF from firefox?

[Razi Khaja]

Im interested in this as well.  I think it was suggested to install cups-pdf

I looked at http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/17636.html for help

and installed the cups-pdf debian based repository
http://benjiweber.co.uk:8080/webpin/index.jsp?distro=openSUSE_102&searchTerm=cups-pdf

but didnt have the patience to read throught the whole 'coolsolution'.

Maybe you might have better luck.

[opensuse] creating a PDF from firefox?

[Greg Freemyer]

All,

RE: Opensuse 10.2 as my desktop

As you can see I use gmail for my e-mail system.

I just sent an e-mail that I want to save on my local disk.  Gmail
does not offer a way to do that I know of, so I thought I would print
the e-mail to a PDF.

I was kindly informed of the "kprinter" option in DIA a couple weeks
ago that allowed me to select a PDF printer.  I don't see a similar
way to invoke kprinter from firefox.

Is there a magic incantation that I'm missing so far?

Is there another way to get firefox to create a pdf?

Thanks
Greg
