Re: Print dialogue

Andreas,

Following your suggestion, the '-l' was added to the custom item in
GNOME-GENERIC-PS.xml

<Item Id="custom">
 <Name>Custom</Name>
 <Key Id="Module" Value="libgnomeprint-custom.so"/>
 <Option Id="Command" Type="String" Default="lpr -l"/>
</Item>

(added '-l' switch to the default tag of the Option item)

and a new Item was added

<Item Id="EpsonSty">
 <Name>EpsonSty</Name>
 <Key Id="Module" Value="libgnomeprint-custom.so"/>
 <Option Id="Command" Type="String" Default="lpr -l -PEpsonSty"/>
</Item>

The immediate result was the 'l' switch was added to the default custom
item.  The second Item - an Epson Stylus printer - became available
after a gnome restart.  Just what I was looking for.

The printers in my office are reasonably static so changing the config
file doesn't need to happen all that often - probably only at a
libgnomeprintiu upgrade.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Frank
