109371 - Print Page Option in Context Menu

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 24221

(SeaMonkey :: General, enhancement)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011011
BuildID:    20011210

Just a basic suggestion
It would be nice to have the "print" option integrated into the right click menu
so you can print a page.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. right click
2.
3.

Perhaps the best place to place the "print" option is right below the "save as"
option within that same section (no separator).

The reasoning being that "print" and "save as" are both together in the File menu.

Wontfix. Printing is neither contextual nor extremely common. See

I am reopening the bug for another look at it.
After reviewing the comments here, I had to agree with you in some sense about
it not being a function used all the time.

However, since them I have thought of another issue involving this.

On pages with frames having print in the right click menu allows you to print
only a ccertain frame with much ease.  It is for this reason that this function
is so useful on a right click menu.  It makes working with frames, iframes, and
the like easy to print out.

Currently Mozilla prints all frames instead of the current frame with focus. 
Thus you cannot print a certain frame without first opening that frame in a new
window (and that takes even more time).

Yes you can. Choose `The selected frame' in the Print dialog. Marking invalid.
