299397 - Printing to a network printer which is not available 'crashes'

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 218870

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[:Gijs (he/him)]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a random webpage (http://google.com will do)
2. Configure a network printer in your workgroup, and shut down the workstation
the printer is connected to, making the printer unavailable.
3. Try to print from the browser, using this network printer.

Actual Results: Shortly after the progress dialog for the print is shown, an
error dialog pops up saying a Microsoft Visual C++ error has ocurred:

Runtime Error!

Program C:\path\to\firefox.exe

abnormal program termination
[OK]

After clicking OK, the browser process terminates.

Expected Results: a warning of some sorts, saying that I can't print like this.
Whatever it would do, it shouldn't crash.
