Hi,
does anybody know where and how this settings are stored within ff?
I want to set this by default or programatically via Javascript, etc.
(no manually)
Unfortunately i couldn't find a about:config pref-switch in print branch
on that, so i assume that it didn't exists here in the preference-service/system.
Thx,
Bernd

how would printer know what web browser sees as background images and color?
such would be defined in html code and with browser reading the code and not
printer driver, web browser would know what to pass or not pass to printer
drive.

The "default" printer may be a b/w laser that won't print a color
background .. for example. And true, the printer will only
print/interpret what is sent to it. So therefore the printer does "know"
or "see" and interprets/prints accordingly.

That setting persists between Firefox sessions, so you should only have
to set it once. Are you saying that it does not persist between
sessions for you?

Yes, i know how to change the settings in ff menu/gui.
They persist between sessions, thats all ok and fine.
The problem is that the default of this setting is "unchecked"
and i wanted it to be "checked" by default.
I have an webapp packaged with an ff-runtime, so every user
starts with a fresh new profile created on first startup of the webapp.
printing with background (colors & images) should be the default
so that no user must change/check it manually via ff-button>Print>Page setup.
ff (v6,7,8) must store the setting somewhere?
As far as i can see, unfortunately it's not in the about:config prefs service/system. That's unhandsome.
All i want to know is:
Where is the place (the file, etc.) FF is storing that value?
And how can it be tweaked from the outside or programaticaly (by javascript)
from within an extension/addon?
So that i can change the default to be checked.
Thx,
Bernd

Looking at the FF prefs using about:config I did not see a default, just
the user set pref over-ride. I am willing to bet the default is contained
in the Gecko defaults which used to be in folder greprefs within the
program files folder. Since those prefs appear to now be compiled into the
application, your need should be addressed to the developers, who will
know where and how a 3rd-party developer, like yourself, can customize the
prefs.

i am using;
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.24)
Gecko/20111108 Red Hat/3.6-3.el5_7 Firefox/3.6.24

with my v/r, 'about:config' defaults are;
print.printer_PostScript/default.print_bgcolor default boolean true
print.printer_PostScript/default.print_bgimages default boolean true
these are set from a 'user default' config, which will need to be located
if above is not your default. because i am using linux, my "grep"ing thru
my firefox files for defaults will be useless for you.
therefore, i will suggest you post to firefox developer list with your
question, or wait to see if a subscriber here knows or can find it for
you.
or, you could search thru your firefox files for either 'user', 'defaults',
'profile', or combinations.
i would also imagine that location of files is held in 'registry', but
that is another 'needle in a bigger hay stack'.

understand.
to you a question, have you tried looking thru your about:config and
used "bg" as "Filter:" word?
much luck.

This is stored in prefs.js
> on that, so i assume that it didn't exists here in the preference-service/system.
There are multiple settings.
Specifically, there are two preference settings stored for each printer.
The menu/gui makes it *appear* to be a single preference setting for all printers.
In Firefox 8.0 ...
1. The last printer which I printed on is found in the preference
named "print_printer" (no periods)
2. When the last printer which I printed on was the FoonlyJet Writer,
then the preferences for printing background colours and images
are in the two preferences named
"printer_FoonlyJet_Writer.print_bgcolor"
"printer_FoonlyJet_Writer.print_bgimages"
These two settings work independently of one another.
I can change each of these preference settings in about:config.
They independently affect how the message is printed on the
FoonlyJet Writer.
3. If I change the printer in Firefox's print dialog drop-down
from: FoonlyJet Writer
to: Epsylon Lazor
and I then print on the Epsylon Lazor, Firefox will:
3.1 Copy the two preference settings above from the FoonlyJet
Writer into these two preferences
"printer_Epsylon_Lazor.print_bgcolor"
"printer_Epsylon_Lazor.print_bgimages"
3.2 The use these two preference settings for printing on the
Epsylon Lazor.
This copying is only done when I actually go ahead and print.
If I select the the Epsylon Lazor in the drop-down but cancel
before printing, nothing is changed.
4. My prefs.js also has preference settings beginning "print." which
are not used. For example
"print.print_printer"
"print.printer_FoonlyJet_Writer.print_bgcolor"
These preferences are for what I was using some time ago back in
an older version of Firefox.

It says (colors and images) by default, doesn't matter what printer
you're using. If you want to print "colors" then you have to use a
"color" printer, else it prints in B/W and usually a color background
looks horrible when printed in B/W.

Many thanks to all, finally i see now how it is arranged ans it works.
It's stored for each printer, that's what i didn't see before.
I hope ff will create the printer_... prefs for the default-os-printer
during first startup of newly created profile.
This would makes me possible to set all _bgcolor and _bgimages entrys
for it or i could find in the printer_ branch to true via js.
If not maybe i can get the default-os-printer via an js/xpcom-call to
create them by myself.
THX,
Bernd
