Disabling new Firefox printer dialog no longer works to revert to using system as default
Has there been any progress in finding a way to disable the new printer dialog box ? The old instructions worked well for about a year, but that awful dialog box has come back and nothing seems to disable it !!

Hey, You can have a look at the below linked support page for a possible fix. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1367355
Thanks, Mamoon, but those are the same posts already viewed. Anyone found anything new to overcome that stupid extra dialog box that none of us really needs ?
Sorry for the inconvenience, for now there is no workaround.
The temporary preference from Firefox 84-96 is obsolete. Firefox 97 has the latest evolution of the combined preview/setup/print experience introduced in Firefox 84. The older code has been removed. There's no going back.
When you call up Print, there's a link on the lower right side of the overlay to "Print using the system dialog..." if the "More settings" section doesn't have what you need.
For the future:
There are bugs on file to add a new user preference and new keyboard shortcut to go directly to the system print dialog without a preview, if that's something you would prefer. Not sure whether that will arrive next month in Firefox 98 or whether it might take longer.
