Details

XUL documents are known to not be printable. Unfortunately, by the time we detect a XUL document and error out, a lot of printing machinery has gotten going, and we do silly things like showing a progress dialog.

We shouldn't even let the user get that far. We should expose some kind of API to determine whether or not a document is printable, and if not, we should disable the print and print preview commands.
