It appears that #112609, (need to create nsprintsetting from script) is only designed to work with the nswebbrowser interface. If this understanding is wrong please advise. Having looked back over some earlier RFEs for printing support from script (namely #61580 and #70950), I notice this comment in #70950. ------- Additional Comment #20 From rods@netscape.com 2002-02-06 07:53 ------- If you want to directly print an IFrame from JS please open a new bug. This bug is now fixed. You can print from JS without the dialog showing. Could this please be done for xul iframes as this seems essential when building and switching between on-the-fly document. Thanks

..... and by printing support I mean all the functionality of nsprintsettings and nsprintpreview but for xul iframes. BTW Is there any documentation on nsPrintSettings for script. In one of the bug reports it implies that a print silent feature exists on the page setup dialog box I cant/find such an option on the current dialog box of Mozilla 1.1a Can anyone clarify?

PS Please note that the earlier #61580 and #70950 were different RFEs (although related) #61580 was a request for quiet printing support of XUL iframes #70950 was a request for full printing/previewing support of XUL iframes Unfortunately these were marked as duplicate RFEs in #61580 even though I hoped that I had made it clear that these were essentially different requests (see comment 3 in #70950) I apologise for having to restate this but it seems most of the earlier comments have been ignored.

Should be tested from chrome

Actually the real problem is slightly different. I can get basic printing to work. The problem is when printing Iframes if they are not visible particularly a)if they are collapsed (have zero height) b) or a non-active deck ( which I think generates the same problem) By non-active I mean one where the deck contains an iframe which is NOT currently selected via selectIndex attribute I think your test case need to address these variants.
