printing non-receipt-size docs via firefox - how?
Ever since we've installed Koha with Epson receipt printers and Dymo label writers attached (and various other standard networked printers), we've had difficulties printing anything else but receipts via Mozilla Firefox (i.e. web pages, database docs, print-screens, and even Koha holds reports). It seems that our Firefox settings to print Koha receipts overrides almost anything else we do through Firefox, affecting the size of our printouts (e.g. we'll get a receipt-sized column of a full 8.5"x11" printout). Even selecting a different paper size or another printer doesn't help - we still get the 2.5" column on a full piece of paper. Sound familiar? PDFs seem to print fine as do Word and Publisher documents. This has been such a problem for us that we've had to limit our non-Koha printouts to just two or three computers out of the 12 or more PCs we own; thus, often forcing us to email ourselves links, documents, print screens, etc. just so we can switch computers and print them from a different computer. Anyone know of any quick fixes, shortcut keys, and/or Firefox add-ons that could help us? Thanks in advance! Jason Adams, L.A. II Northwest Reno Library
This is apparently standard behavior--"just the way it is", or at least that's our experience too. One fix is to run a separate instance of Firefox using a different profile (run> firefox -ProfileManager), or install and use Chrome for your non-Koha web browsing. -- Greg Lawson Rolling Hills Consolidated Library 1912 N.
