225218 - print function fails with an "unknown error" if there are no printers installed

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 100166

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Mladen Stific]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7

This is actually just an annoyance, but would be nice to squash. On my freshly
installed Win2K box, I've no printers set up, and ThunderBird jumps with this
funny "unknown error" message box. Too familiar from some other group's
products, isn't it? ;-)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Remove all printers from your system's Printers folder
2. Click on print (or print preview, it makes no difference)

Actual Results:  
A message box saying an "unknown error" has occured.

Expected Results:  
a) Opened the standard OS's printer setup dialogue
b) Staded clearly that you can't print if you don't have a printer installed.
