302958 - Print jobs lack a job name

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Camino Graveyard :: Printing, defect)

Description

When you print in FF or Camino, the print job shows up in the Print Monitor
tools as "untitled". And if you choose to save to a PDF from the Print dialog,
the default filename is ".pdf".

Works for me in Deer Park on Mac OS X 10.2.8 (where it's still called Print
Center). I can see the title, and the default filename. The same name is also
used for the preview. Were you using a special name (Japanese characters for
example), or is this another Tiger bug ?

Oh, I guess this is a Camino thing. Maybe it gets the print job name from the
frontmost (Carbon) window.

Reassigning bug...

Note to self: we could call PMSetJobNameCFString() to set the job name, perhaps
getting the title from nsIPrintSettings.

A comment I had made in the dupe:

Note that when bug 157628 is in play, the suggested title becomes simply ".pdf"
(see also 157628's duplicate, bug 181548 comment 3).

(otherwise the suggested title is "Untitled.pdf", at least under 10.3.x)

Turns out it's actually any plugin/applet (bug 303547) that causes ".pdf".

Attachment: Patch to set the print job title

Note that, for reasons lost in the mists of time, nsIPrintingContext.h is only
used on Mac.

Checked in.
One thing I noticed is that files without a title (e.g. .txt files) end up using
the entire URL as the print job title; we might want to improve that later.
