I believe I found the cause. There is a gtk property that tells GTK (which iceweasel uses) which printer backends are available, gtk-print-backends. I added this to my ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file:
gtk-print-backends = "file,lpr" and now "Print to LPR" appears in the print dialog as well as "Print to File", and printing to LPR works. My guess is that the values of that property are used to find the backends in /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/printbackends/ by prepending "libprintbackend-" and appending ".so". There were four choices already there on my machine: cups, file, lpr and test. I found this page that described the property gtk-print-backends: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/unstable/GtkSettings.html The property should really be set in a system level config file during the gtk installation by somehow determining the print systems available on the machine. I'd also say that iceweasel should set this property using the value of its print.printer_list property. It should not require users to put the above in their local GTK config, but I hope that helps as a work around until this bug is fixed the right way. -- Neil Roeth -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
