I've finally gotten a BSOD in Windows XP. Even though it might be
driver-related, it doesn't occur in IE6.0. I was trying to print only the
characters in the linked entity reference, and it blue screens after Firefox
sends the data to the printer. Although it is quite a critical issue, I'd
imagine that it's also pretty obscure. It has never occurred for me with
previous versions of Firefox, Firebird, or Phoenix. I didn't see a specific
Firefox component related to printing so I've put it under General. (The DLL is
part of XP's generic printer drivers AFAIK)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install GES622P.DLL printer driver
2. Visit http://www.digitalmediaminute.com/reference/entity/index.php
3. Select all the characters (from " to Euro), and nothing else on the page
4. Print
5. BSOD

Actual Results:  
BSOD. The printer still printed out characters up until ⌋ (⌋ ⌋ u230B).

Expected Results:  
It would print the entire selection and not crash the OS.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\2\GES622P.DLL (I'll attach a zip that
includes this file)
This is the DLL file mentioned in the error found in
%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\2\ if any other files would be
helpful (from higher-level directories), let me know and I'll gladly post them.

Thanks.
how about making the .dmp available? [win-break>advanced>startup and recover: 
settings>(small memory dump/kernel minidump], if you're set to the default, you 
should have it in %SystemRoot%\Minidump (and it should upload to bugzilla w/o 
issue). also a url for downloading the official printer driver installer would 
be appreciated.

I'll be right back after my next BSOD to upload the minidump.

Unfortunately, I didn't have a page file set on my C drive when I got the BSODs
so the Minidumps weren't being written. I've tried removing the page file and
now I don't seem to be getting the BSODs anymore. I do notice that I get 2
application errors in the event log every time I print that page, but they may
be unrelated (DEVELOPER1 is my machine's name and IDC\travis is my domain\login):

I'll be sure to post a minidump to this issue should I get a blue screen again.

I've tried many times, from several computers and I can no longer duplicate this issue.
