Go to above URL. Click on "Investor Relations" and then trying printing page. On MacOS X, the text overwrite the existing page and then the printing dialog remains - the system does not print page. I'm using Build ID: 2002050508

Yes, the page is in a frameset. Attempting to print a frameset will cause this problem. When printing the page, two things happen: 1) Print "spooling" never closes 2) Page content is partially duplicated and is overlaid on the page
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
Simple test case that contains two frames (inside a frameset). Simply attempting to print this page will reproduce the problem. http://mozilla.org/quality/browser/standards/html/frame_name.html 1) Load test case. 2) Choose Print from File menu and click OK. 3) Print spooling dialog appears but doesn't close. Content of the last frame is duplicated and overlaid on page. Page nevers prints too.

*** Bug 139233 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
all platforms are affected by this on branch and trunk builds. home.netscape.com is another test case that printing fails at (from duped bug).
OS: MacOS X → All
Hardware: Macintosh → All
I believe this is a Mac only issue (OS X , OS 9) since I can't reproduce this particular problem on the branch windows build (2002-05-03-06). Nor can I reproduce the home.netscape.com crash (under the same window branch build). Tracy, can you try printing the test case in comment 3 with a windows build ?
then 139233 is NOT a dupe of this. I cannot print home.netscape.com on any platform, branch or trunk. Going back to reopen that bug. damn printer bugs.
nevermind reopening that bug. I'll log a complewtely new one. argggh...this has not been working for months and each bug get's duped or swallowed up by another bug. Please fix not being able to print smoketest printing of home.netscape.com.
I can not repro this bug... I am working on other test cases to see if I can get something not working.
my bad, I changed the os to all earlier and forgot to chang it back to just OSX when I decided to open another bug for all platforms for what I am seeing. changing this back to OSX.

Per conversion with dcone: Rod's changes to the printing API's may fix this bug. This bug is only present on the branch under OSX. It works correctly on the trunk under OSX.
I can't reproduce the problem with build 2002052503 on 10.1.4. Can anyone with current build?
I have verified this bug.
PEtersen,can you verify ? thanks...
I could not reproduce on 9.x operating system.
Yes !! Using the 2002-06-14-05 OS X branch, I can no longer reproduce the original hang problem. Tested with url and test cases.
