The option should take a URL and should print the page at that URL (preferably,
but not necessarily, without opening a browser window)
Example: apprunner -print http://www.apple.com
Can you do this by M7? Or should someone else do it? Or should we do it even
later?

Radha, what we need is -print command line support for all platforms ...

Am I suppose to provide the cmd line option or implement this feature? If
it is former, then, there is nothing I need to do. The command line processor
just caches all the arguments. Just process the argument in your code and
provide it while running. Look at nsApprunner.cpp or nsBrowserAppcore.cpp for
example.
Radha, I think we were hoping you would implement it.
apprunner -print foo.html
should print the page without opening a window, and then quit. This will enable
the macintosh to support the last of the four required appleevents. The Macintosh
wiring is in already to use your excellent command-line repository thingummy, but
no -print option has been implemented.

Alright, shll consider for M7

I think a -print option should be added for *ALL* platforms, not just the
Mac... I would find the option pretty handy here on Linux whenever I wanted to
print something from the commandline (which, being a Unix person, I often want
to do).

This really isn't a Mac-sopecific issue. Let's move this out to M14 for
consideration with the other RFEs.

It's important on Mac because Print is one of the 4 required AppleEvents, and
-print is how that would be implemented (I imagine).

Bug 31603 was indeed a duplicate but I'd like to add something from 31603 that
has not been mentioned here.
It would be nice if the -print commandline optionally took the printer queue
name as an arguement.
Example: apprunner -print hp8100n-downstairs http://www.mozilla.org
Under UNIX, the printer queue would default to 'lp' and under Windows, it would
default to whatever printer is chosen as the system default.

why is this assigned to nobody?
i'm sure that many people would appreciate this feature (including me).
it would enable automatic conversions of webpages to ps, pds an grafic-formats
on servers with no X.

I would really like this feature, too.
