Attachment: first pass

this mostly works.. we don't do print options right and i'm not happy with the way we spool things but it will get us something for the alpha

Needed patch to avoid a crash.  Ideally we'd only do this if we're printing...

Using Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20061204 GranParadiso/3.0a1, I get the following error on both the PPC and Intel Mac: "Printer Error: An unknown error occurred while printing."

please file a new bug.. printing is working for a lot of people (ignoring bug 362136)

It turns out this was failing only when you printed from the GP candidate build to one printer in the office here. When I tried another printer in the office it worked. The odd thing is that Bon Echo builds printed fine to that same printer, so I thought it might be a problem with the build. Odd.

marcia, did you ever file a new bug?

I'm seeing a similar problem at home, when I try to print from my mac trunk build to my deskjet 5400.

I'll do a little debugging to see what's going on.

it turns out that I can print from my trunk on my deskjet 5400, but just not a specific paypal page.  see bug #365752

with,

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.9a2pre) Gecko/20070131 Minefield/3.0a2pre

on osx 10.4.8, i'm unable to print any/all pages.

actuallu, i _can_ print -- it just prints completely blank.  tried with various printers, as well as print to pdf & preview.  all blank.

at least 4 me, this is still an issue.

either REOPEN or NEW bug?

thanks.
