Page displays fully in correct form. Clicking 'Print' and then OK on the
priter-setting window, brings up the print-spooling progress window, but no
progress ever begins to be shown; only "Progress: Prepairing" shows. Nothing
Windows is not active until at least Moz is shut down with CTL-ALT-DEL.
Thereafter, when brought up, its fast startup is inactive.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Access the listed URL and let it load fully.
2. Click on 'Print' and then on 'OK' in the print-settings window.
3. See no progress in the print-status window that comes up, and note the Moz hangs.
Actual Results:
See details.
Expected Results:
On Step 3, see print=spooling-progress horizontal bar to proceed to full right
and printing to start.
Printer: HP 932C with duplexer set to print double-sided.
Both Netscape 4.79 and IE 6 spool the page to the printer properly.
Moz 1.4 is a REAL LOSER! 1.5 better have dumped most of the "improvements" put
into 1.4.

Moz 1.7b, Win98se
At first this seemed to hang my system too, but after I waited a while, the
Print Preview window did come up... but Mozilla said the printout would be 912
pages! That certainly explains the long delay, but something really weird is
going on here. After the first page, there was only a single line of text on
each page. I started working on a testcase, which I will post here as soon as I
am done. It looks like this is another Table-related bug.

This has now been fixed along with bug 212984. A print preview of the original
page now comes up, and is only 7 pages. Marking as dupe.
(There is something weird I may investigate later - the Java Applet, which is
normally on the left side of the page, is on the right side in print preview!
But that will be a separate bug report).
