Details

Windows and Linux both open dialogs (either XUL dialogs, or OS-specific dialogs) for printing. Unfortunately, the opening of those dialogs is tied in pretty tightly with the print engine that runs in the content process.

Luckily, it's possible to plug in replacement components to provide those dialogs. I think it should be possible to proxy the requests to open dialogs from the content process to the parent process. That's not the hard part - the hard part will be sending back the information from those dialogs back to the content process in a meaningful way to kick off the print jobs.
I can't believe I just duped myself.
