It does not even give the dialog, which tells print job. In Netscape 7 printing works fine, and Mozilla 1.4.00.01 (PA-RISC) doesn't remember. I have not built this by myself. I have a copy from binary download. I've tried to compile this, but got some strange errors. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Choose print 2. printer/file 3. print-button Actual Results: nothing happends Expected Results: printing dialog should appear, that tells printing job. Theme, I'm using is Sky Pilot Classic, but it doesn't matter.
Mika, could you launch mozilla from a command line, try to print, and see if mozilla produces any error messages?
Mika, are you still experiencing this problem? Could you respond to the previous question?
Mika responded to me in email (on, ahem, january 4th): Sorry Kenneth. I replied directly to bugzilla-daemon.. =) Yes. I'm still experiencing this problem. /tmp. --------------------------- It does not give any output. Not as a regular user or as the root user. =(

What are the configure options used for your build (see "about:buildconfig")

(In reply to comment #5) > What are the configure options used for your build (see "about:buildconfig") Here's the config-information from Mozilla 1.6b: Build platform target hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.00 Build tools Compiler Version Compiler flags cc -Ae +DAportable +DS2.0 N/A -DHPUX11 aCC -ext +DAportable +DS2.0 N/A -DHPUX11 -Dhpux +W358,652,728,740,749,829 Configure arguments --disable-debug --disable-tests --enable-crypto --enable-extensions=default '--enable-optimize=+O3 +Onolimit +Osize' --enable-mathml --disable-auto-deps 1.5 I've got not now, but I can re-install it, if wanted. /tmp.
I'm not sure if this is a duplicate problem or a separate bug: I have 1.6 installed from RPM on Mandrake 9.2. When I print from Mozilla using lpr, xpp, or kprinter, the data light on the printer blinks once as if data were being sent, but nothing is printed. If I print to a file, I get a ~300k .ps file that shows up as blank in KGhostView and will not convert to PDF with ps2pdf. The print preview looks normal. I tried running mozilla from the command line, and no error appears during printing.
Mika, is this still a problem with current versions of mozilla (or firefox or thunderbird)? Where are you getting your copy of mozilla? Is it supplied by HP?
(In reply to comment #8) > Mika, is this still a problem with current versions of mozilla (or firefox or > thunderbird)? Where are you getting your copy of mozilla? Is it supplied by HP? I'm sorry about delayed answer time. =) Well.. Because I need to print every now and then from web, I had to go on with NS. I downloaded sources for 1.7.8 couple of days ago, but not luck with compiling to see, if problem still exist. You may, if you want to, mark this as unsolved/discontinued. /tmp.
Ok. Now installed Mozilla 1.7 (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; HP-UX 9000/785; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040714) binaries from mozilla.org and tried printing... =) As you can see happy smile, I will continue at least with this version. I sure will give a try to later versions too. I'll mark this to fixed ( if I can), because printing works fine at least in this version (1.7) /tmp.
