You will still get the firefox, mozilla, ... -print-dialog first ...

 

I tested this in firefox and it works.

 

1. Open the print-dialog: click on the print-icon or on File->Print...

2. Click in the dialog on "Properties"

3. Change the print-command to "lpr-kprinter --stdin"

4. Click in the Properties-dialog on "OK"

5. Close the Print-dialog

6. Type in the addressbar (the place where the urls are showed: this is the place with texts like http://www.google.com , ....) "about:config" and press enter

7. A page with a lot of options for firefox/mozilla, .... appears. At the top of the page there is a text-field with to the left of it "Filter". Type in that text-field "print.show_print_progress". Now, only the option "print.show_print_progress" should be visible and not the others any more. if the value in the Value-column is "true", then you're done, else go furtther with the next step.

8. Double click on the option "print.show_print_progress". A dialog appears. Change "false" to "true" and press on "OK".

 

Done

 

Try to print a page and see if it works ...

 

the original print-command is: lpr ${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME}
