Is there any way to utilize always_print_silent for a specified printer only?
I am trying to print to a specified printer without a dialog prompt. I am aware of print.always_print_silent = true to bypass the dialog, and that does work, however I only want to bypass the dialog for a specific zebra barcode printer, as having to click PRINT for every barcode we have to print in a fast paced business environment is tedious and monotinous and just slows the whole process down.
There a numerous configs in "about.config" (i.e. prefs.js) that pertain to the printer in question and they all begin with "print.printer_Zebra__GX420t."; for example...
print.printer_Zebra__GX420t.print_bgcolor print.printer_Zebra__GX420t.print_bgimages
I tried to create a new boolean value for...
print.printer_Zebra__GX420t.always_print_silent
but that does not work for bypassing the dialog for that printer.
Any help with this is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

please upgrade your browser to Firefox 3.6.24 or Firefox 8
I have never used print.always_print_silent. Prior to Firefox 3.6 I was using print.use_native_print_dialog set to false to print without the appearance of the print dialog, but that pref was removed.
See if this JSPrintSetup extension will help you.
