304778 - should be able to print selected address book entries

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 120273

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[Peter C. Frank]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

"Print Selection" isn't available when attempting to print multiple address book
entires, but not the entire address book. There should be a way to print just
the selected address book entires, instead of printing out individual entires
(which limits one per page -- a waste of paper) or the entire address book. This
would be especially useful if the user uses the quick search bar in the address
book (to search by name or e-mail) for specific criteria, and wishes to print
out all entires that are returned in the search result.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Either perform a quick search using the toolbar in the address book and
select all entries returned in the search result, or select multiple entries out
of a single address book (either CTRL-click or SHIFT-click to select multiple
entries).
2. Choose either "Print Card" or "Print Address Book" from the "File" menu.
Actual Results:  
In the print dialogue box, under "Print Range" one is not able to choose
"Selection" as it is greyed out.

Expected Results:  
One should be able to choose "Selection" under "Print Range" in the print
dialogue box to print only the selected address book entries.

Yes, that is a dupe. I'll add only dependency, although AFAIK the AB code is the
same ... but to be sure.

Bug 120273 is now a core address book bug, therefore marking this one as a
duplicate of that one.
