Is there some platform independent way to tell that the error is that there is no printer installed? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Uninstall any printers on your system. 2.Try to print anything. Actual Results: A window pops up that says "Unknown printing error occured" Expected Results: A window should pop up that says "You have no default printer selected" or something. I understand that this might not be possible to do for something platform independent. If so, I apologize.

Not a show-stopper, but this is still the case in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040329 Firefox/0.8.0+

I had this occur to me and there's another problem associated with it. When this happens I cannot close the print preview toolbar. When I hit the close button the tab bar closes instead of the print preview toolabr. Luckily my tabs don't close or this would be worse. I open another tab and the tab bar reappears with my tabs still intact. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626 Firefox/0.9.1 Putting blocking-aviary1.0 = ? as this could be confusing and frustating because the error is very ambiguous. Not to mention the toolbar that won't go away. And I'd hate to see someone dump firefox because they can't at least get an informative error message.

Does this qualify as a "gecko change" that also needs to go on 1.7br? Ask someone doing 1.7br approvals and let me know.

mkaply: is this patch needed on the 1.7 branch?

I assume that error is already handled in the 1.7 code?
