Customize the print setting

[SndRox]

Hi all,
I'm finalizing an application in xul (standalone application) and need
to insert some printing in it.

The best solution I found is to have a hidden browser to store html to
be printed, this html is created from the xul document I want to print.

Everything went well but I would like to remove the file location
header included in the default printing setting.

I've been browsing in reference with no luck,
anybody here with a hint?

Thanks in advance,
Sandro

See http://www.xulplanet.com/references/elemref/ref_iframe.html, the
first user note at the bottom. Change this line

var settings = PrintUtils.getPrintSettings();

to this

var settings = PrintUtils.getPrintSettings().clone();
settings.docURL = " "; // suppress URL on printout

Other options you can modify are documented here:

Great, that worked!
I'm curious as well about the way to display the application
preferences as others do, see Celtx that insert a print menu options in
the Mozilla default print dialog.
