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. Ray
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.
Depends on: 212984
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). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 212984 ***
