Thanks for the reply, Andrew - but isn't that the command to use when printing? the cmd shown is : lpr ${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME} which in itself isn't a problem (it prints to my default cups printer). the problem is that I cannot see ALL my other printers that I have defined in cups. I can understand that in some software that doesnt support cups i would have to use lpr -P[printername], but freebsd based firefox DOES detect my printers - linux-firefox doesn't show them. B
