mozilla and printing
mozilla defaults to printing to $MOZ_PRINTER_NAME, except when i setup a printer in redhat it doesn't pick it up, so nothing prints -- now I can add a line to my login profile or something to set the value of the variable, but somewhere i should be able to tell mozilla to correct the problem itself, instead of globbering around it

At least in my mozilla setup, the command it uses is "lpr ${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+"-P"}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME}", which just about means that it prints to $MOZ_PRINTER_NAME, if it's set. Otherwise, it just calls lpr with no args. Ie. if you don't set MOZ_PRINTER_NAME, you should be fine, isn't that right?

same command for me, yes - however if the variable is undefined my laserjet 4100n powers up saying it is processing a job, then stops with no output, no error
(printing from the shell with no -P argumetn works fine though, and as soon as I define that variable mozilla also works fine...)
the strange thing is it has happened to a second PC - I am wondering where i should be looking as I am pretty lost on this one...majorwoo

This is probably the point where I'd begin [ls]tracing.
