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.
print_printer (not print.print_printer) is "user set", "string", and
"Print to File"
print.printer_list is "default" and "string". No value is set.
FWIW, ffx 22 was compiled using dpb on a bog-standard install with no
special compile options. I have a ton of addons (noscript, adblockplus,
ghostery, etc.) but none of them involve printing. I do not have a
physical printer attached.
I'm not running any fancy desktop either, just spectrwm, but a lot of
crap is still installed because I used this box to build the packages
(that I use) from the July 11th snapshot.
$ pkg_info|grep gtk
atk-2.8.0 accessibility toolkit used by gtk+
gdk-pixbuf-2.28.2p1 graphic library for gtk+2

gtk-update-icon-cache-2.24.20 gtk+ icon theme caching utility

Also, a new snapshot appeared today, presumably with the 64-bit time
stuff. There's a "t32" directory under the amd64 snaps which I've never
seen before, and presumably that's a snap from before the time switch.
I'm downloading the new snap (64-bit) now and will give it a whirl, but
it won't be finished for at least 8h.
