[nflug] Selecting a printer in Firefox 1.07 & 1.5

[Joe]

I figured out another piece of it.
When I select Print, there's a list of printers.  Most are printer 
instances made with xpp.  At the bottom of the list is generic 
postscript printer.  When I select that one, it uses my script and 
everything works fine.

I went back into about:config and changed everything about changing 
spooler commands from false to true.  This didn't help.

The remaining problem is that the postscript generic printer is not my 
default, so I have to use the drop down box every time.

Any ideas?
