274063 - print preview doesn't work when no printer is present

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 135664

(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

Description

[Dan Soper]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

I'm trying to make a printer-friendly alternate stylesheet for my website. Since
my computer has no printer (and I wouldn't want to be wasting paper if it did),
I want to use Firefox's "print preview" to test the new stylesheet.

But when I select Print PREVIEW from the file menu, I get an error message
saying; "There was a problem printing. No printer could be found."

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start with a PC which has no access to a printer, and no printer drivers
installed.
2. Start up firefox on this PC and go to any page.
3. Select Print preview.

Actual Results:  
Error message as described above

Expected Results:  
Shown print preview - though possibly with a disabled "print" button. (I assume
FF's print preview has a "print" button)

Setting the same style sheet as an alternate (screen) style sheet instead of or
as well as using media=print is a partial work-around.
