185047 - some images (possibly only gifs) do not print (either to printer or to file)

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021211

I occasionally find that some images do not print properly. Instead, a
placeholder is printed, with the "broken image" icon in the upper left. With
this URL, all images are printed except for the map image. It is a dynamically
generated gif. I'm not sure if the dynamic part is the problem. This ocurrs when
you print toa printer or to a file.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. load http://yp.yahoo.com/py/ypMap.py?tuid=180696&ck=878221831
2. print page; map image does not print
3. right-click map image and select 'view image'
4. this image alone does not print either.

Actual Results:  
map image (dynamically generated gif) does not print properly

Expected Results:  
print properly

I have only tried on this one system:
SunOS green 5.8 Generic_108528-14 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60

Attachment: example of the url being printed to file.

This was printed to a file then a pdf was created using distill.

This is the image itself being printed to a file (to show that it has nothing
to do with the HTML on the webpage). After the postscript was created, I
created the pdf by using distill.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
