Also, it would be super helpful if the http://localhost:631 page were there.  If only it hosted links to the sub-pages (admin, printers, jobs etc), it would make managing the printers a lot easier.  I'll eventually write one up for myself, if you like, I can post it.

- but it is there, I mean you have to enter "http://localhost:631" once in firefox and save it as a bookmark, but after that it works fine??

No Juanito,

Calling up the localhost:631 gives me a 404 Not Found error.

The subpages are fine (e.g. localhost:631/printers).  But I only know by luck that they exist.

@ john.martzouco,

Please keep extension discussion in the extension area.
Cups is not part of DSL. It is a MyDSL extensions. It becomes confusing when later searching.

@ jpeters,

Since you are using apsfilter's standard print command, I don't understand the issue with Firefox printing.

I can directly print from firefox by entering File->Print->Properties and Print Command and enter the usual...

lpr -h -Plp

Works fine for me.

Neither do I....I've tried that and "lpr -h -Pprintername", lpr -h -Pprintername@box, and a few others, in addition to following some recommendations for changing various about:config settings.  Bottom line is that if FF recognized the default printer, it would appear automatically (or as an option in the dropdown menu for selection.
