When printing documents using Firefox 11.0, it by default displays our Kyocera colour printer as the default printer.

When printing from MS Word for example, it shows our Ricoh b/w printer as default.

I've checked my Printers setting, and the Ricoh is selected as the default printer.

How do I tell Firefox that I want the Ricoh to be my default printer? A quick glance in Tools > Options didn't show anywhere to change this - am I overseeing something?

Thanks

1270707 2012-04-18 02:14:00 Couple things you could do for that - both are in the about:config settings

1 - filter/search for print_printer and right click on the entry(s) and select Reset

if the Ricoh still gets "lost" as ff default, then also do ....

2 - filter/search for print.save_print_settings and right click and select false

That will disable ff using what it thinks was the "last printer used" rather than the system default

Hope that helps
