I installed a new, second printer and made it the default printer. I'm also using the old printer. Firefox doesn't recognize the new default printer and only works with the old one. How can I get Firefox to work with the new printer? I'm using the latest version of FF. Thanks.

When you initiate printing using {Ctrl + P}, is the new printer available in the Printer - Name drop-down?

(Head Slap) Yes it is! I overlooked that... Never even noticed the drop down list. It should work now, thanks.

No printers show up in the print dialog when I type control-p. (Fedora 15, x86_64)

  1. Numbered list itemCUPS shows the printers as present and accepting requests.
  2. Same for lpstat

% lpstat -a

  1. Some applications recognize the printers and can print just fine. (Adobe acroread, bash/tcsh command line, libreoffice, openoffice, frescobaldi, gedit, evolution, gwenview, okular)
  2. Some applications recognize none of the printers, and therefore, cannot print at all. (Firefox, Thunderbird, gnucash, f-spot, opera, planner, eclipse, gimp)

Because of this divergence, it appears that there are two mechanisms for accessing the printers, and some class of the applications aren't using a working mechanism or the other mechanism broke.
