Firefox Printing

[Bill Vance]

Howdy Gang;

I was printing out a long html file using Firefox 13.0, when
something else went screwy and caused the machine to reboot.

There's about a tenth of the file left to print, and I've no
idea how to tell firefox, (or any other browser), to only print
the part I need done.

Anyone got something on tap that'll do the trick?

TIA

Bill

I like to see what my printout will look like before I waste toner and paper
on it so I always "print" to PDF, then print the .pdf file if it looks OK.

That might work even in your case if the early pages you've already printed
correspond with the pages of the .pdf file.  You could then print only the
missing pages.

Where is this option made available?  I can't find it on
either of the print options.

There is a 'cups-pdf' package that adds that capability.  It shows up in
your list of available printers when installed, at
<http://localhost:631/printers>

In the print dialog, just tell it to print the unprinted pages.  Select the "Range"  radio button and the enter "10-" to print all the pages after page 10.  Instead of 10 you would use the number after the last page printed.
