[Koha] printing non-receipt-size docs via firefox - how?

[Liz Rea]

We use a customized version of Firefox for this, it's basically
portable firefox that we set up with the receipt printers so that
users can use their normal, installed firefox to print "normal" sized
documents on the regular printer.

You can have a look at it here:
