Details

I use Windows 98 PL (second edition, 4.10.2222A) and Mozilla 1.1: Mozilla/5.0
(Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826. My default printer had a name
with a Polish character in it (the name visible in Start/Printers folder, of
course; it was actually a networked printer with the proper, English-only
characeters in its NETBIOS name). When I pressed "Print" I got a message saying,
Mozilla could not find a printer. I cannot provide the real error message, as it
was in Polish anyway. When I changed the default printer to the one without
Polish characters, Mozilla printed properly, and even allowed to select the
troubling printer. When I removed the national characeter(s) from the printer
name the problem disappeared.
Sounds like bug 167128?
That's my guess. But I can't get any review for bug 167128? 
This is differnt from bug 167128.
I wrote patch of this bug there.
Please review it.
