Scott, Chimera 0.6 (20021104) is far, far too old for bug reporting purposes.
Please retest using a current nightly build.

Hi,

It was Camino 0.7 build 2003030613

I don’t know why the other build showed up (maybe that’s a bug). Did it hang
when you tried printing that page?

Thanks,

Scott

WorksForMe using Camino/2003-04-12-05. Scott, can you still reproduce this
problem using a current nightly build?

Still hangs with 4/189 overnight build.  However, changed from print preset of
"duplex color" meant for a different HP printer to "Standard" for HP 4m+ and it
worked fine. Every other page that I have printed on the HP4m+ printed okay with
the "duplex color" setting which I am too lazy to change usually. Hangs with
"duplex color" preset when printing to the HP color printer that it is meant for.

None of that would be a function of Camino's printing code. That all happens at
the OS-level. What if you try that trick with another app?

As I mentioned originally, that URL works fine with Internet Explorer and that
"color duplex" setting.  Other documents print fine with Preview, and other MS
Office programs.  That particular URL is the only one that I have discovered in
months of printing that hangs Camino with that printing setting, so there is
some interaction between that URL, Camino and that printer setting. 

This is not a major problem, just something odd.

Thanks.
