In bug 1659781 we added nsIPrinterList.fallbackPaperList mainly for Save to PDF, but we may well end up using it for when we query a printer for its supported paper sizes and don't manage to get a list (bug 1663503, for example).

The list of paper sizes that nsIPrinterList.fallbackPaperList returns isn't informed by actual data, but is a best guess. It would be preferable if we could get some telemetry on what the most popular sizes people are actually printing to are, ideally broken down by country so we can give users the best fallback experience possible.

DATA COLLECTION REVIEW RESPONSE:

Is there or will there be documentation that describes the schema for the ultimate data set available publicly, complete and accurate?

Yes.

Is there a control mechanism that allows the user to turn the data collection on and off?

Yes. This collection is Telemetry so can be controlled through Firefox's Preferences.

If the request is for permanent data collection, is there someone who will monitor the data over time?

No. This collection will expire in six months.

Using the category system of data types on the Mozilla wiki, what collection type of data do the requested measurements fall under?

Category 2, Interaction.

Is the data collection request for default-on or default-off?

Default on for all channels.

Does the instrumentation include the addition of any new identifiers?

No.

Is the data collection covered by the existing Firefox privacy notice?

Yes.

Does there need to be a check-in in the future to determine whether to renew the data?

Yes. :jfkthame is responsible for renewing or removing the collection before it expires in six months.
