How do I setup Xprint for Mozilla?
Some builds of Mozilla for Solaris (unfortunately) require a Xprint server to be running before you can print from Mozilla. This is true if you get a message saying no Xprint servers were found when you try to print. To enable Xprint, I added these lines in my .profile shell initialization file: MYXPRINTDISPLAY=1956 # Random unused port–change if not working. /usr/openwin/bin/Xprt :$MYXPRINTDISPLAY & # Exits if already running on display XPSERVERLIST=”localhost:$MYXPRINTDISPLAY” # Let Mozilla know the display # export XPSERVERLIST Also, change default-printer-resolution from 300 to 600 (or higher) in file /usr/openwin/server/etc/XpConfig/C/print/attributes/document if the printer output is too small.
