Firefox doesn't recognize new printer.
I installed a new, second printer and made it the default printer. I'm also using the old printer. Firefox doesn't recognize the new default printer and only works with the old one. How can I get Firefox to work with the new printer? I'm using the latest version of FF. Thanks.

When you initiate printing using {Ctrl + P}, is the new printer available in the Printer - Name drop-down?

(Head Slap) Yes it is! I overlooked that... Never even noticed the drop down list. It should work now, thanks.
You're welcome.
No it dose not. What now?
No printers show up in the print dialog when I type control-p. (Fedora 15, x86_64)
- Numbered list itemCUPS shows the printers as present and accepting requests.
- Same for lpstat
% lpstat -a

- Some applications recognize the printers and can print just fine. (Adobe acroread, bash/tcsh command line, libreoffice, openoffice, frescobaldi, gedit, evolution, gwenview, okular)
- Some applications recognize none of the printers, and therefore, cannot print at all. (Firefox, Thunderbird, gnucash, f-spot, opera, planner, eclipse, gimp)
Because of this divergence, it appears that there are two mechanisms for accessing the printers, and some class of the applications aren't using a working mechanism or the other mechanism broke.
