| E.Hi Emiliano,
I have seen the same thing. There are two things that you can do: 1. Define the shell environment variable MOZ_PRINTER_NAME set to the name of the desired default printer that you wish to print to from Mozilla, Thunderbird, or Firefox. In your .bashrc file, add the line: export MOZ_PRINTER_NAME=printer_name
2. Or you can replace the string
"${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME}" with "-P printer_name" .
The -P option to lpr tells lpr which printer to use. This is my choice
as I have several different printers that I might want to use. Mozilla
should remember your change so if you only have one printer you will
need to change this once.I think that the "${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME}" is
supposed to evaluate to a "-P printer_name" if $MOZ_PRINTER_NAME is
defined and to a null string if it is not, but for me it results in the
lpr command failing and not printing. As I always simply entered
replaced the shell incantation with a literal "-P printer_name" I have
never checked to see what was (or was not) happening.Hopefully this helps.
