Description

[Antonio Bongulielmi]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; OpenVMS DEC_3000_Model_500; en-US; rv:0.9.8)
Gecko/20020202
BuildID:    2002020220

The predefined command is "print"
If I change this to some other DCL command which implements
a print mechanism, mozilla generates a file and does not
execute the alternate print command i have defined

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.use any url to display a text
2.select file >> print >> change the default "print" to another command
3.the result is a file and the defined command is not executes

Actual Results:  see previous item 3

Expected Results:  generate a postscript file with all pages and print it using
the command
and qualifiers I have specified

none

Boris, can you reproduce ?

The command must be a PRINT command, because Mozilla will append /DELETE to 
whatever command is used (in order to tidy up the temporary file that is used 
for printing). 

I guess a smarter way to do this is to NOT append /DELETE, and make the default 
command be "PRINT /DELETE". That way you could change the print command to 
whatever you want.

Can you take a look at the patch in bug 126799 and tell me what I can implement
to get this issue fixed (what about a OpenVMS prefs item to handle this ?) ...

[Colin Blake]

I already have a fix for this, thanks, Roland. I'll check it in once I have a 
tip tree again (working on 099 branch at the moment).

Can you attach the patch here and do _not_ check-in the patch into "trunk",
please ? I'd like to integrate your patch into the patch of bug 126799 for
"trunk" to avoid that the patch there gets rotten... Thanks!

Attachment: OpenVMS patch

Roalnd, here's the patch to other (non-print) commands to be used for printing.
All it does is to move the "/delete" print qualifier out of the code so that
the user is free to edit the entire print command.
