    That's what I want to do - always! Is there a way of suppressing the fancy dialog, so that I see the system print dialog as the default?

    John.

    Since nobody else has mentioned this (unless I missed it) I'll pop up briefly to say that help is at hand.

    For those of you who, like me, abhor the Firefox print dialog, the latest version (101) enables you to choose the system print dialog as default. The instructions are here: https://tinyurl.com/35w6hzh3

    Yes, thank you. Anne is now walking again, albeit with a frame, and used her iMac today for the first time since the beginning of February.

    Excellent, thanks.

    Oddly, it uses a default paper size of US letter, rather than A4 in other apps/system prefs.
