Okular won't print PDF's

[Neo]

Okay Okular is still giving me problems but Foxitreader seems to be working fine.

The big question is how do I set Foxitreader to be the default?
FF always opens PDF's with Okular and since I can't find a solution to it not printing PDF's I would like to make Foxitreader the default.

As always I will greatly appreciate any help that you may give.

In FF >preferences>Applications>Content Type slide to PDF documents

It does not list any programs to choose from.
I used to know this but where in Linux do you see the list of programs to choose from?

In FF under edit   click  preferences   click  Applications   within  Content Type    slide down to      PDF documents
slide across to click   ? always ask      a drop down menu will pop up
and you pick use foxitreader

It does not list any programs to choose from.

Then try:

FF->Edit->Preferences->Tab Applications->column Content Type->PDF Document
Open the drop down menu in the Action column
Select Use other
Navigate to and select /usr/bin/FoxitReader

(Obtained by opening a terminal and typing: whereis FoxitReader  <Enter>)

For reading pdf's I use Okulator but for printing I prefer use Adobe Reader

The question has been asked about where in Linux to select a default program to open a given file type (e.g., PDF files).  A better question might be where in a particular desktop environment to set this up.  Without further ado...

In KDE, the simplest way I know of to set this up is to open Dolphin, navigate to a file of the type under consideration, then right-click the file, select "Open With", and then "Other".  When the dialog box opens, either navigate through the menu tree given and select or enter the full path to the application you would like to use as the default in the text box at top, then check the box at lower left that says, "Remember application association for files of this type" and KDE will thenceforth remember how you want these files opened.

Hope this helps get it done for ya.

Just that Firefox uses other settings, when you want to open something from the downloads window

I'm not disputing that, but that question had already been answered whereas the original question had not. 

If no helper application is specified in Firefox, it should  fall-back to whatever is specified by the desktop environment (but I won't swear to it - shoot, I don't even know where KDE stores this stuff anymore...)

Just tryin' to help out here... that's all.
