I changed the Print Command to kprinter and kept the quotes. Should I
have done?
Firefox does print now, but the dialogue box is very much curtailed and
there would be no way to put the Print Command back in. The Print
Command box is no longer displayed.

I have looked in the package management program, but can find no
reference to Kprinter, either installed or to install. Is it part of the
KDE system?
