How do I turn off your print dialogue box box in version 97 for mac?

I don't want it. I never asked for it. It lacks any decent functionality, where are presets etc? I won't use it. And I'm definitely not clicking each time it pops up to get back to my system print dialogue box.

I already disabled it once, and it looks like you've got upset and are now forcing it on people. So I am only your answer away from Chrome.....

This is how major changes usually are introduced: people can continue using the old design for some period of time while the bugs are worked out, and then it's permanent. Mostly permanent -- there are bugs on file to add:

  • A new user preference to bypass the preview/setup screen and go directly to the system dialog
  • A new keyboard shortcut to bypass the preview/setup screen and go directly to the system dialog

I don't know whether these will arrive in Firefox 98 next month; it depends on whether testing can be completed in time. For now, it's an extra click.

Wow that's the answer of someone who doesn't want to hear what their customer wants. Even if it means losing them.

This new print dialogue box doesn't add anything but wasted time to my life.... so I guess Chrome it is.

I'm a support volunteer and I'm just telling you what I know. I don't decide this any more than you do.

Also, why would you use Chrome instead of Safari if you want that native Apple print experience?

Chrome lets me decide. At least for now.
