I see this problem on today's linux and windows builds (20000214m14) 1. Install and launch the browser 2. On windows, type 'c:\' in Location Box to view local file listing 3. If the listing does not appear, minimize and maximize the window.(known problem) 4. Once the file listing appears, select the File->Print menu option. 5. Observe that a blank page prints. Same thing happens on linux also.

What was the last build we could print file listings. Did any build last week work?

I saw this problem today. Tried last week's builds....but they do not print file listings.

Web directories do print, this seems to be a local disk issue.

It seems that on a local disk (typing 'c:\') generates a tree widget to display the directory (which does not work). Printing this just prints out the header (top line). I don't know much about the tree widget so I will give this to Hyatt to investigate why tree widgets don't print.

It has never been a feature requirement that trees would be printable. Futuring.

ftp://sweetlou does not print. The printed page has headers but no directory structure.

This bug may block bug 66247, "[RFE] Print Bookmarks from Bookmarks Manager window".

There's some interesting discussion on bug 66247 about how trees should print: should they scale each column down (and risk cutting off a lot of information), allow rows to expand and wrap data within rows, or use a different format altogether when printing?

Hmm, would this qualify as 4xp, since in NS4 you could print local directory listings, but in Mozilla you can't? "Enable html directory listing" apparently only applies to remote directories -- for local ones I'm always getting the tree widget (bug?). I don't know if printing directory listings itself is a feature requirement, but when some random asks me how to print a directory in Windows, NS4 is the quickest and easiest.

Nominating 4xp and mozilla1.0 I'll find this feature very useful in Ns4 and it will give mozilla another edge over MSIE. (Printing local directories that is...)

rods: Is this the bug about the problem that XUL tree widgets don't print ?
