The new mozilla-browser, version 0.9.7-6, package, has a "user friendly" print

As it works with my lprng package, I am left with only a default selection,
so menus offer no alternatives.
And menu clicking within Mozilla offers no way to add another printer choice.
Before, we could enter
lpr -P lex
or even something like
mpage -P lex
Now we have no choice of printers and no way to change the choice,
except outside the mozilla application.
We can still, I gather, alter the default printer before starting mozilla,
export PRINTER=lex
and more investigation showed that we can also,
export MOZILLA_PRINTER_LIST="lex hpcolor"
This latter setting now gives you a "user friendly" choice of two printers.
So, I put this in my ~/.bashrc
This new Mozilla approach to printing is less flexible.
Unless a user is satisfied with the default printer, this new approach also
requires more up-front altering of .bashrc
So, this approach is generally less flexible and less friendly.
Or, did I miss CUPS or some other approach to using Mozilla?
when in moz, go to file/print, then the properties button. there i think
you'll find what you're looking for.
