Printing to postscript printer not work with firefox.

Post by clauslack »

Hello

I have
Salix 13.37 XFCE 64 bits (and Salix 14 XFCE 64 bits)
firefox 17.0.10
cups 1.4.6
LibreOffice 3.3.2
Lexmark m3100dn (PS emulation) with postscript driver.

firefox create a pdf file (in /var/spool/cups) - > not printing.
libreoffice create a ps file -> print fine.
lazarus apps create a ps file -> print fine.


There some cups backend for pdf to ps ?
Regards

Thanks westms

Now seems to work,
The problem occurred with the previous driver when printing from firefox pages with color. The printer only supports black.

I change the postcript driver, for Lexmark m3100dn use the driver
"HP LaserJet 1200 Postscript ".
No works fine.
Regards
