next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
Hello, I had problems printing and previewing in both thunderbird 0.9
and firefox 1.0. Even Page Setup crashed.
I notice the default commands for printing (firefox [1]about:config)
are little weird. Not sure this can be considered a bug, it may work
in other setups but mine.
I do not use CUPS, so LPR picks my laser printer from /etc/printcap.
My laser is my default LP printer also.
I added these lines to my "user.js" configuration file (if you do not
have one, create one with these lines only):
#+++begin lines+++
user_pref("print.postscript.print_command", "lpr -P lp ");
user_pref("print.print_command", "lpr -P lp ");
user_pref("print.printer_list", "lp");
#+++end lines+++
The user.js file is located in:
~/.mozilla/firefox/$randomdir1/user.js
~.thunderbird/$randomdir2/user.js
where "randomdir" is created at installation time, with a random name;
one can easily identify it.
After creating "user.js" you need to restart both programs and they
should print, preview and accept page setup without crashing.
Have peace.

Hi,
unfortunately, after modifying the patch and rebuilding, Thunderbird
crashed again in nsDeviceContextSpecG.cpp:1151
