Can Firefox be set to use the system default printer?

I would really like it of Firefox would use the system default printer set in the control panel, similar to the way office programs do. Is there no setting in about:config to do this? Or an add-on perhaps?

I really, really wish Firefox would change this, but I did find one thing.
In about:config I set:
print.print_printer to null
print.save_print_settings to false
Now it seems to use the system default. And it doesn't remember any changes with in a session, or from one session to the next. It always uses the system default printer.
I realize different people have different preferences. But on my system the default printer changes automatically depending on what wireless network I'm on at the moment. I wanted Firefox to reflect that.

  • Why does Firefox select the last used printer instead of the system default printer on startup?

    In the course of using Firefox I selected my color printer to print in color then closed Firefox. When I reopened Firefox later on and sent something to the printer I had assumed it picked up the system default printer, a monochrome laserjet. It picked up the color printer instead. When I restart my other apps they automatically pick up the default printer. Why not Firefox?

    Some web pages will pop up the print dialog automatically. In particular, pages that websites have specially formatted for printing may do this.
    Are you restoring tabs that you previously opened, or starting up with your home page(s)? I suspect that one of them is generating the dialog. You could check by going to each one and reloading the page to see whether it is from that page.

    Hi pankaj2008_singh,
    the chances that you get an answer for your question in this forum are very little.
    Please post your SAPscript questions in forum ABAP Development -> Form Printing.
    In spite of the name, SAPscript is not a scripting language.

  • I installed a new printer and set it as the Windows default printer but Thunderbird won't find it.

    Using Windows 8.1 - x64 - Thunderbird 31.3.0 (Firefox 34.0.5 has found the new default printer)
    I read about resetting printer.printer_printer and printer_printer but....
    printer.printer_printer did not exist in the file.
    Then I found printer_printer and chose "reset" closed and saved the file then closed and restarted Thunderbird.
    But now the printer_printer command has disappeared completely from the file and the old printer info was left unchanged.
    Then I went to the Windows "Printers and Devices" menu and deleted the old printer that Thunderbird was pointing to.
    Then I closed Thunderbird again restarted Thunderbird and now the "print" command in the file menu is greyed out.
    (Also the old printer info is still unchanged in the config file )
    I would reinstall Thunderbird and just start over except I have about a dozen email accounts on several servers and have spent a lot of time recently on reconfiguring them to work on upgraded servers. Also I don't know how to save my emails if I reinstall Thunderbird (Is it possible to do this?)
    I've googled for ideas but haven't found anything beyond the reset function.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    I've rebooted numerous times, reloaded the software twice, spent 4 hrs on the phone with HP and 2 with Adobe. No luck. It simply doesn't show the new printer in the drop down menu for Pro or Reader and yet shows time in all in Office, Paint, Web options. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

  • How to safely remove version of firefox that uses the system default locale?

    I have Firefox with Greek locale due to my location.
    I want to use Firefox in English, so I downloaded the English version and installed (in another HDD).
    I've already set it as a default browser, and thus, clicking at the firefox quick launch icon opens the english locale version.
    Now I would like to clean my system, simply removing the greek locale version (located at C HDD) but without losing any data/extensions/etc.
    How can I do that?
    Thank you for your time.

    Installing the English (en-US or en-GB) version over the top of the Greek version would have been easier as that would have been replaced the Greek language pack (located in the omni.ja archive).
    You can check the general.useragent.locale pref on the <b>about:config</b> page to make sure that it is set to the correct en-US (or en-GB) locale
    If you have the Greek version listed in Control Panel > Programs then you can uninstall this version here.<br />
    Make sure that you aren't removing your personal data when uninstalling as this will remove all Firefox profile folders.

  • Can Firefox be set to remember the "zoom out" setting it last used?

    How can I set a maximum (rather than minimum) font? On most page loads I have to zoom out (Ctrl -) on almost every website page to contain the page in the window?
    I am using an Acer wide screen monitor.
    Is there some method of having Firefox remember the setting?

    There are some add-ons that can be used to change the zoom level on all sites, for example:
    * NoSquint - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint
    * Default FullZoom Level - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level

  • Firefox 18 seems to be defaulting to Adobe PDF for printing even though the print.print_printer is set to the system default. Any ideas why and how to fix?

    On Windows 7 64 bit machines, we are seeing users that have Adobe Acrobat Pro installed where Firefox 18 is using the Adobe PDF as the default printer even though the print.print_printer is set to the correct system default printer.

  • I can record voice memos fine using the built-in iPhone 4 mic.  And my Bluetooth headset (Jawbone Era) works fine when I leave messages on voice mail systems etc. when calling on the iPhone 4.  However, I cannot record voice memos with my Bluetooth mic.

    I can record voice memos fine using the built-in iPhone 4 mic.  And my Bluetooth headset (Jawbone Era) works fine when I leave messages on voice mail systems etc. when calling on the iPhone 4, so it appears my headset mic is fine.  I can also use voice activated dialing, although it fails miserably interpreting numbers.  However, I cannot record voice memos with my Bluetooth mic.   I just get barely audible static.  Any suggestions?   Thanks.

    Hello, did you ever get an answer to your question? I just picked up a Jawbone Era and using on an iPhone 4s running 5.0.1. Seems to work fine on regular calls, but not on the built in Voice memos application. It worked fine on my older Jawbone Icon, but haven't tested on the 4s or iOS 5.

  • I have purchased a macbook air with 64 gb hard disk. the available space is only 10gb. With this available space, i can't use the system effectively. kindly advise.

    I have purchased a macbook air with 64 gb hard disk. the available space is only 10gb. With this available space, i can't use the system effectively. kindly advise.

    You should have bought one with a larger SSD. You can regain some space by disabling the sleepimage file:
    To disable safe sleep, run the two following commands in Terminal:
    $ sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
    $ sudo nvram "use-nvramrc?"=false
    When done, restart your computer. Now go delete the file "/private/var/vm/sleepimage" to free up some hard drive space. When you put your computer to sleep it, should happen in under five seconds; my MacBook now goes to sleep in two seconds.
    [robg adds: To state the obvious, with safe sleep disabled, a total power loss will wipe out whatever was open on your machine. To enable safe sleep mode again, repeat the above commands, but change hibernatemode 0 on the first line to hibernatemode 3, and =false to =true on the second line. You'll then need to reboot again. Personally, I prefer the safe sleep mode, even with the slower sleep time and hard drive consumption -- even if for no other reason than it's great when changing batteries on a flight.]
    You can also delete unneeded files:
    Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
      1. See Lion/Mountain Lion's Storage Display.
      2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
      3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
      4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
      5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
      6. See The Storage Display.
    You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
    You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
    Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

  • Can my husband and I use the same e-mail address/AppleID for our 2 phones, our iMac, and our Macbook?

    Can my husband and I use the same e-mail address/AppleID for our 2 phones, our iMac, and our Macbook?
    We share an e-mail account and would like to use the same e-mail address for both our phones, as well as our computers at home. Is this possible?
    We both have itunes and apple ID's of our own right now, but since getting married, we are deleting these e-mail accounts and sharing one. How can we make this work?

    You may use the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases, but using different iCloud Apple IDs is recommended.
    If you use the same iCloud account on your iPhones it will sync all of your contacts, reminders, and notes automatically and it could be a pain. I don't know exactly how you would want to have the iCloud accounts set up on the Macs, because I don't know exactly how you use them. (I am assuming you share?). But you can do whatever you like, you can even keep the same iCloud accounts, etc but you may want to disable the syncing of certain items, because reminders for ones phone popping up on the others automatically would probably get annoying, but that is just me.

  • I can not print an PDF using the Adobe PDF-Printer with Acrobat DC

    Hi all,
    i installed the Trial of Acrobat DC but it dont let me use the Adobe PDF-Printer well, because i cannot print from any third-party-application using Adobe PDF.
    I tryed to print from within Word, Editor and Browser and selected the Adobe PDF-Printer as target, but at 75% both, the Application from which i print and the PDF-Creating-Wizzard are freezing (for hours) and i need to kill the procesed. No PDF-File is created. Same Problem with trying to print a Testfile from within the Windows-Printer-Dialogs.
    Only Adobe DC cause this issue, if i use freeware like Bullzip PDF the files get created successfully, so i assume its not a generally problem with PDF on my system.
    What could be the problem? (pls dont say its because of the trial, a trail should allow to test all features and Why should i buy a programm if it cannot do what a freeware can do?)

    Hey Daniel,
    Have you tried repair Adobe Acrobat DC?
    If no, then please repair the installation under Help menu.
    This could also happen due to an Adobe Acrobat DC installation file corruption. To resolve this issue :-
    Uninstall Adobe Acrobat DC using the Acrobat cleaner utility.
    Restart your computer.
    Re-install Acrobat Acrobat DC  Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat Pro DC.
    Let me know if the issue persist.
    Regards,
