Description

[Kazuyoshi Itami]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:0.9.6) Gecko/20011120
BuildID:    2001112011

I use Mozilla 0.9.6 on MacOS 0.9.1 Japanese on a network iMac client.  Printer
Epson LP-8700 (ESC/Page) is connected to the same LAN. FTP is an AppleShare 6.3
Japanese.
1. Connect Mozilla browser to AppleShare FTP.  Mozilla displays correctly.
2. Try to print the page.  You will see strings of meaning letters on the first
page and many blank papers coming out of the printer.
3. I followed the same procedures with Mozilla 0.9.6 on Win98; no problem.

Reproducible: Always

No; thats the XUL widget. this is probably going to be dealt with with my other
cleanup work, though, fixing send page, and so on, too)

Kazuyoshi, are you able to print other pages using this configuration?

Comment 4

[Kazuyoshi Itami]

Dear Greg,
I can print any page whose address is 
"http://www. . . . "
I cannot print any page whose address is 
"ftp://ftp.jime.or.jp"

"ftp://ftp.jime.or.jp" is NOT accessible from 
outside; this ftp is AppleShare 6.3 Japanese and 
is for internal use only.
I'm sorry but I haven't tried to print public ftp 
connection.

Kazuyoshi, "ftp.jime.or.jp" doesn't resolve as a valid host name. How about <ftp://
ftp.mozilla.org/>, can you print that?

I downloaded the Mozilla Full Installer with TalkBack and 
re-installed (clean install) Mozilla 0.9.6.
I tried to print several public ftp servers in the US and
Japan, and found that I can display and print any page
correctly on Mozilla browser now.  Although I didn't mean 
to disturb you at all with evil mind, I do apologise for 
wrong report.  However, TalkBack does not work this time,
either!  I should report this to somewhere else. . .

Resolving WorksForMe per Reporter. Kazuyoshi, should you encounter this problem
again in the future, please reopen this bug.

As for TalkBack, be aware it doesn't run after every type of crash.
