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.
