Hi,
This is not a new problem but I can't remember how to correct it.
I just switched from firefox 3.xx, where printing worked ok to 6.0 and I
cannot print using cups. Seamonkey and Opera allow me to print as do
several other applications so there is some configuration change I have
to make with firefox. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks, jwc

Printing with Firefox 6.0, 6.0.1 and currently with 6.0.2 just fine
(Slackware 12.2). So I would turn my attention towards other parts of
the system.

To follow up on this problem:
I installed firefox 7.0 and could not print with it as well.
I have the same problem with the most recent version of seamonkey.
I can print with the newest version of Opera. I checked the about:config
entries in version 4.0, 6.02 and 7.0 of firefox and they are all
the same.
I am using slackware 13.37 and my printer is a canon mp210.
Best wishes, jwc

Another followup:
Using firefox-7.01 when I hold the cursor
over the print icon it reports: no print version found.
I guess somehow cups and the newer versions of firefox
and seamonkey are not communicating.
