116574 - print preview hangs Moz 0.97 (and 0.96+)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 110997

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

From Bugzilla Helper:

Moz 0.96 (I think) introduced print preview, which is *the* feature that keeps
me loyal to NS Communicator (besides the fact that it is not M$ s/w) and that I
was sorely missing in previous builds of Moz.

Even though print preview's workings were not perfect (compare with
Communicator's), it was at least there. Then, somewhere during the "0.96+" phase
of Moz, print preview broke.

It's not that it takes time, that it might be simply slow: it totally hangs Moz.
Period. Though, oddly enough, when I tried to preview the "about moz" just after
downloading it, it worked. Anything else hung (www.scripting.com,
www.lwn.net/daily, etc.). Badly.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. load any web page.
2. just try to print preview said page.
3. that's it.

Actual Results:  Moz hangs, never to come back.
