263347 - Select File->Print, Thunderbird hangs, lpd daemon responds "bad request line 'POST / HTTP/1.1' from 127.0.0.1"

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Wolfgang Polzleitner]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3
Build Identifier: version 0.7.3 (20040803)

When I want to print a message in Thunderbird, the program hangs.

The /var/log/messages gets filled up with lines like

-----------
Oct  7 20:01:56 wp-tecra-s1 lpd[5075]: connection from 127.0.0.1
Oct  7 20:01:56 wp-tecra-s1 SERVER[10383]: Dispatch_input: bad request line
'POST / HTTP/1.1' from 127.0.0.1 port 39306
-----------

Thunderbird 0.7 does not show this behaviour, but prints the messages alright.

Wolfgang

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

2. Choose File->Print
3. Thunderbird stops to respond
4. lpd send these messages to /var/log/messages

Actual Results:  
Thunderbird freezes

Expected Results:  
Print the file or display the print preview dialog (when File->Print Preview is
used instead of File->Print)

Oh, sorry, I gave the wrong build number. The build where the bug occurs is 0.8,
plus I also tested the latest build 0.8 20041007. Same problem.

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.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
