I have spent some time searching on-line without success.
I have seen suggestions of resetting print.print_printer and
print.printer setting in about:config and restarting ff. I have
tried these without success.
I'm curious, for those who have success selecting print to
file from ff-22 (e.g., Scott McEachern if kind enough) can
you tell me what your about:config says for following
setting items?
print.print_printer
print.printer_list
Anyone else have any ideas I can/should try? Short of trying
a new snapshot (I think I'll wait after the "storm" to clear before
attempting a snapshot upgrade).
Incidentally, I am not running any "modern" desktop environment,
if that is potentially the problem of gtk2 not "configuring" the/any
printer settings, or whatever "modern" desktop utility ff is
depending on to select printers.
Previously, with ff-18, this worked just fine.
Thanks for reading/replying.
