Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.5
When I try to print from firefox, the print dialog that appears lists my printers, and has a "print" button at the lower-right.
When my default printer ("home-laserjet") is selected, then the "print" button is greyed-out, and cannot be clicked.
If I select any other printer from the list, then the "print" button becomes enabled, and printing works fine.
This is with firefox 3.5.3+build1+
The only things I can think of that make "home-laserjet" different from the other printers are:
1) it is the default printer
2) it is a remote printer on an IPP server (it uses an ipp:// URL pointing to my cups-running server downstairs), while all the other printers use socket:// or hp:// URLs to point to the printer directly. This has caused weird problems before: see bug #258104
I'll attach screenshots showing the print dialog.
