Printing from FireFox

[Pete Goodeve]

Why can't I print from FireFox (0.8)? I have no problem sending stuff to our
(networked) printer from NetPositive or any other BeOS app, but FireFox
resolutely insists that no printer can be found!

A solution would be appreciated.

I believe this is a feature that has never worked in the BeOS version of
FireFox. BeOS is diffirent enought from the other OSs out there that the
maintainers of the BeOS fork of the code just to keep up with the code
changes could not support thie feature. However, after 1.00 ships (it has
for Linux and Windows) then the rate of code changes are to slow down and the
maintainers of the code to get the printer side working.

I was beginning to suspect as much... (:-()

Thanks for the info. As an intermediate step, I can save off the page
to a file and print it from N+ (presumably provided it's compatible...)
but I'll look forward to getting that feature because otherwise FireFox
is proving very useful.
