User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

I'm a Firefox extension developer. Below is my code snippet:

var printSettings;
var PSSVC = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/gfx/printsettings-service;1"]
.getService(Components.interfaces.nsIPrintSettingsService);
printSettings = PSSVC.newPrintSettings;
printSettings.printerName="MyPrinter";
PSSVC.initPrintSettingsFromPrinter(printSettings.printerName,printSettings);

It runs well on Firefox 1.0+/Win & Linux, but does not work on Mac OS X 10.3.
The error is

[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80040154
(NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED)
[nsIPrintSettingsService.initPrintSettingsFromPrinter]" nsresult: "0x80040154
(NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED)" location: "JS frame ::
chrome://catcher/context/cgicall.js :: anonymous :: line 184" data: no] 

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
No error occurs on Mac OS X 10.3, just the same as Windows/Linux

This bug has been buried in the graveyard and has not been updated in over 5 years. It is probably safe to assume that it will never be fixed, so resolving as WONTFIX.
