Re: Missing LPR command dialog in Seamonkey 2/very basic Linux

For me (Debian user), the solution was to add the following line to the file .gtkrc-2.0 in my home directory: gtk-print-backends = lpr,file Create a new file with that name and content, if it does not exist. However, Seamonkey does not remember any changes to the printing command you might wish to make in the print dialog. I think that's a known bug (in GTK perhaps). Thanks! It worked for me, too. Forgetting print command changes does not bother me that much as one can defined in /etc/printcap several entries with short names for the same printer with different options for the filter ifhp (e.g., for 2-side printing, :if=/usr/lib/ifhp/ifhp -Tduplex=on). What makes me more angry is that the footer and header settings are forgotten, too. I tried to add the preference print.save_print_settings set to true. It did not help. It just caused that sometime the changed header and footer settings were actually written into the pref.js file, but as the print_command settings, they are always ignored when printing the next time. Hope that this bug will be corrected in a future release. I also tried to add to pres.js for Print_to_LPR the same set of print.tmp.printerfeatures that were there for PostScript/Default, and even added two more for print_command and 12 more for headers/footers, such as: user_pref(print.tmp.printerfeatures.Print_to_LPR.can_change_headerright, true); user_pref(print.tmp.printerfeatures.Print_to_LPR.supports_headerright_change, true); Although they showed in about:config, they had no effect, and are probably illegal, because Seamonkey did not write any of my print.tmp.printerfeatures.Print_to_LPR back into prefs.js on the next closing. Otherwise, I am happy with Seamonkey ... ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
List of all preferences from pref.js
Hi! Is there somewhere available for download a list of all preferences (name, type and allowed valued) from pref.js (about:config) recognized (and respected) by SM 2 in Linux? Or at least all preferences related to printer selection and printing. Thanks, Miro ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Missing LPR command dialog in Seamonkey 2/very basic Linux
Specifically, I have this problem: I have a simple Linux installation based on Ubuntu 9.04 mini.iso. It does not use any desktop, only the Fluxbox WM. For printing, I use LPRng. Printers are defined in /etc/printcap. Command line printing works. In this setup, I had no problems in Seamonkey 1.x.y with printing directly to a real printer. Using pref.js transferred from Mozilla suite on Windows, with a o lot of printer preferences defined. After I selected a printer in the Seamonkey 1 print dialog, I was presented a LPR command window where I could further modify the lpr command for the given printer. Recently I have switched to Seamonkey 2, using again the same user profile (pref.js) as before, including all the printer/printing settings. Seamonkey 2.0.x seems to ignore most of these, and does not recognize any printer, only presents the possibility Print to File. Setting environmental variables PRINTER, MOZ_PRINTER_NAME_LIST, etc did not help. Do you have any idea how to at least force Seamonkey 2 to offer an LPR command window in the print dialog? I have noticed that some other graphical application (e.g., epdfview) also do not recognize any printers besides Print to File and do not offer new printer installation. So maybe there is a missing package in my system that provides interface between the print dialogs of graphical applications and LPRng. Is there such simple package? (I am not interested in full desktops or CUPS) On the other hand, e.g. gv offers the LPR command line window after pushing the PRINT button even now. Could this be enabled also in Seamonkey 2? Thanks for any advice! ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
