Printing out of seamonkey-mail ?

Print-preview works, but when I start to print an email text (e.g. from the inbox), then no print is starting. Only a little alert-window is coming up, but is so quickly away, that I cannot read the message :-( Nothing happens after that. What may be the reason ?
Printing out of the Navigator is working. Thanks for any suggestion.

I agree with you on that first remark. Thanks, in fact it's just like when installing it on BeOS :) I didn't expect that and never tried it that way.
Anyhow, it works really nice now on Haiku r23705. No more Opera...let SeaMonkey Rock 'n Roll instead.

I think actuaally, that Haiku isn't ready yet for users, who aren't accustomized to work with Terminal/Command Line/shell. But anyway. Try simpler path.
Unpack Seamonkey to any place you wanna. Open that folder. Looke there for "text" file called just seamonkey". Try to double click it. Of Seamonkey starts with that, all is OK, and you even can create symlink from it to desktop or in any other place, convinient for further clicking.
If it don't start, but opens in StyledEdit instead, right-click on it, and choose in menu "GetInfo". Expand GetInfo panel with arrow at bottom, to see 3 lines of "permission checkboxes", and check all "execute" boxes (bottom line). Close "GetInfo" panel and try to double-click again.

The installing instructions are a bit too difficult if you're not used to working with Terminal, it seems...

From:
"a)Open Terminal app, change there directory (using cd command) to seamonkey folder (to where you unpacked it),b)run the seamonkey script from the command line", I don't know what a cd command is and how to use it. Also, this Seamonkey script can be found where?

What I tried, is dragdroppin' the file called 'seamonkey' onto the Terminal and then pressing Enter.
This results in a Splash screen that doesn't leave.

Could you give some instructions with a Joe User in mind?

thanks!

No more need for that special build - axeld and stippi fixed bug in Haiku which prevented SeaMonkey to work properly there.
If some new bug Haiku will appear and I found some way to temporarilly overcome it in Mozilla - I will publish new build of HaikuMonkey gor testing and debbugging purpose

1)Firefox will contain proper printing very soon
2)Yes, you can start app with mail or composer or chat or addressbook as first window.
in command-line type
seamonkey -mail
or seamonkey-bin -mail (if you have set your envirionment to start in from *-bin directly)

also you can create little script file, to allow you do it by click on icon
(unfortunately normal BeOS symlinks/shortcuts do lack abilities of MS Windows PIFs - where you can put those arguments etc)

Thanks for newest version and a question concerning Mail
 By beoverall - Posted on January 18, 2008 - 10:47:35   (#22413)
 Current version when comment was posted: PrintPostscript 1.17pre
Printing works now much better than in earlier version of seamonkey. Great, now I will prefer much more seamonkey than firefox.

Another theme: how is it possible, to start the Mail-Window (or another seamonkey-window, e.g composer etc.) without first the Navigator-start ? Exists there a commandline-possibility for changing the start-window ? For instance, the seamonkey-version of MS-Windows could start directly the Mail-application of seamonkey. Is there in BeOS the same way possibel ?
Thanks and greetings to the developer(s).

> Actually I wonder, if you can set Letter or whatelse in Mozilla Page Setuo or Mozilla Print

I tried that, both with the BeOS defaults and in the Mozilla print dialog (page setup doesn't have it). It was set to letter in all places. Still came out as A4. Not too big a deal since I don't do very much printing.

actually you still can ran natively all mozilla apps, I miss one possibility in previous comments - you just should add all 2, 3 or more paths to those lists.

try to comment out first 3 lines, but leave 4d one, with
addon path working,
and that test what happens.

also you have another option which can fix situation - instead %A put in those lines real full path to place where you have unzipped mozilla.

unfortunately last one allows to start from "-bin" and ran "natively" only one of mozilla apps - FF, SM or TB.

I suspect that before incident some "bad" system-driver or lib or so was unpacked, not in system or home/config folders, but some local folder, but due new paths added to system it had such effect.

Yep, I did that before the two times. I also re-runned bootman (I found out that the last icon means Zeta mounts the partition, since I was stuck there, I thought this could be useful). I can reproduce the problem by deleting the # part from the userbootscript file of moving this file anywgere other than its place.

first recommendation - try to run from Terminal, once booted successfully:
chkbfs /boot

If it returns no errors, we can try to think on your problems further

Neither do I. After closing Seamonkey (I made the previous comment from there) and rebooting, I found myself again stuck at the last icon. I rebooted into safe mode but found no userbootscript this time. I took the one I deleted before (it only contains these EXPORT comments pasted in my previous comment) edited it commenting the 4 lines and returned into the correct folder. Now Iam in Zeta again and everything is fine. I use Zeta 1.21. To make a long story short: my userboorscript file contains only the 4 lines pasted in my previous post. If I leave it there, Zeta won't boot. If I do not, Zeta works fine, and Seamonkey does too.

SeaNonkey doesn't do anything with Userbootscript.

This is your bussiness to edit it manually, if you wish.

So I just don't get what is your problem.

Hi:
to my surprise, I am unable to boot into my Zeta 1.21 partition. I knew it had to be this new version because it's the only thing I installed last night. I boot into safe mode, entered the Desktop and deleted the Userbootscript with this: export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=%A/.
export LIBRARY_PATH=%A/.:%A/components:$LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBPATH:%A/plugins
export ADDON_PATH=%A/.:%A/components:$ADDON_PATH

Now it boots ok again. Not sure what this means, but I thought you would be interested. The booting process froze on the last icon, the mounting one.

current PS implementation is totally "environment-independent". And if there is some BeOS API for regular PrintKit printing, to determine paper size, IIRC, it is hard to do via Ghostscript - as you never ever know which it should be done then with GS as filter:)

Actually I wonder, if you can set Letter or whatelse in Mozilla Page Setuo or Mozilla Print dialog properties/advanced - and it saves that setting between sessions. If it does not, I can investigate this problem. Currently I've set "first default" to A4 as european.

Thanks for the R5 build, it works quite nicely. Tested out the print to file, was able to copy it over to a colour postscript printer and it turned out nicely! Only drawback is that it always asks for A4 paper. Pretty good for a first try!

you can outamte that proces.
1)There was tip on that topic on betips.net, though, betips seems broken now:(
2)You can create lpr file in home/config/bin with content:
#!/bin/sh
cat > /tmp/mozprint.ps
cp /tmp/mozprint.ps your_cifs_shared_printer
rm /tmp/mozprint.ps

In that case no need to bother with setting checkbox "Print To File" and enter name of ps file:)

I am using a Windows network postscript printer:

Xerox Phaser 8500.

All I have to do is mount the printer using CIFS mounter. Then when I print to file from seamonkey, I just save the file to the mounted printer which appears as a network drive. This sends the doc to the printer and in color with color images too.

Thank you fyysik !

That's true:(
We lost very good storage site, where about 2 GB of BeOS-related things were stored, with unlimited outgoing traffic etc. So several BeBits links and mirrored links are lost for now too.

I need now new hosting for my BeOS-related works, Mozilla included. As temporary solution I will upload new R5 version to mt work account this weekend, or bit later - it needs recompiling.

@sd: Oh, thanks for the lpr-hint. I will try it.
Yet another mentioned problem, yes, it seems there is no printing of included website-images. Maybe only text-printing configured in seamonkey-PostScript ? What did I wrong ? Or has anyone an idea or an experience with printing of websites with text and images, maybe the master fizik himself ;-) ? Thanks and so long.

Actually you don't need pslpr - use included in zip lpr instead and you can print directly to printer (via Ghostscript).

Code of printing is same for SeaMonkey and Firefox - so Firefox with printing will appear when Doug Shelton decides that there is time for new build:)

With Ghostscript+pslpr I can send without problems the seamonkey-created ps-file to my HPLaserjet. That's progress for myself. Thanks, fizik ! What about to implement this postscript-method also to Firefox ?

Actaully, with that lpr script + patched GhostscriptController/Connection (from BeBits) I transferred all my BeOS printing to Ghostscript-driven version.

It has better font-quality than native renderer and is more reliable for me.

Unfortunately Mozilla printing here has one issue - it don't produce images in his postscript-output. Will try to look at weekend, what happens there.

Since 27th february, you can find the last 1.1.1 version of Seamonkey http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/.

Why there not any stable releases or "milestones" for BeOS-ZETA-Haiku?

It Seamonkey for our system abandoned?

Yours,

It doesn't work.

"Try to resize window after you clicked at mail item, progress bar finished and you see nothing."

Unfortunately, the progress bar doesn't finish. At least not for a good three to five minutes, and only after a box pops up saying that the connection to the server timed out.

Resizing the window, either before or after that point, makes no difference :-(
