In PDF view, option to print all or certain pages gives unnecessary "custom" option, not just page nos.

GTK Native Print
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:87.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/87.0
Steps to reproduce:
Opened a PDF from a (bank) website so as to print it. Only page 1 is wanted, so clicked "Pages" drop down.
Actual results:
Dropdown brings up "all" and "custom".
Expected results:
Dropdown should bring up "page numbers" or similar. It's a slightly annoying extra, unnecessary step

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Printing: Output' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Can you elaborate what kind of UI are you imagining here? Just the text input, and make the empty one mean "All"? I guess that'd be reasonable.

Yes. Drop-down to offer "All" and "[page nos]" options. In the latter case the prompt could vanish as soon as valid figure(s) is or are entered. Thanks.

Ah, that's a bit trickier, because valid stuff can be entered, but you might want to e.g., print extra ranges, separated by commas.

Ah... true. People are used to entering ranges etc so the prompt isn't necessary. Just an empty box for the choices is fine - I'd be guided by you as the experts! At the end of the day if the engine sees garbage in there it can't process, I guess it'll re-prompt.

I have seen this complaint before at least once or twice. I think having radiobox plus a text input like GTK would make it more obvious that entering custom ranges is possible. IIRC Windows' dialog looks similar as well.
