I am printing directly to an HP LaserJet 4ML, and I can print the Bugzilla main page just fine. Not sure what to suggest here. Maybe the reporter can post (as an attachment) the PostScript that is generated if he does a "print to file". Then someone can try printing that on some other printer. If it prints, then the user's environment is suspect (DECprint?). If it doesn't print, then the generated PostScript is bad and we have a real bug. Colin Blake OpenVMS/Mozilla
Using M16 under SYSTEM account I printed the Bugzilla Bug page for bug 41776. As result I got one page which ends with the line --- Additional Comments From Blake Ross 2000-06-08 23:18 ---- which fits on 1 page a second page wasn't printed. I reported the bug under my user account and I never checked under SYSTEM account. At the moment I'm not able to use MOZILLA under my user account, see bug 43138.
I think a good thing to try would be to attempt to print from some other DECwindows application. Can you try this: $ mcr decw$calendar When the calendar window pops up, click on File -> Print. In the print dialog make sure that "Send file to printer" is checked. If necessary, use Options to direct the output to the correct queue. When ready, click on OK to queue the print job. Did it print correctly?
I'm able to print as user from DECW$CALENDAR, NETSCAPE 3.03, ImageMagick, DECwrite, ... without any problems.
After changing the file protection for all files SYS$COMON:[MOZILLA...] to W:RE I'm able to print now! I installed MOZILLA under SYSTEM account which has W: No Access so the MOZILLA installation procedure should be fixed

Something strange going on here. When Mozila installs on OpenVMS, I'm pretty sure that all files end up with W:RE protection. Did you change the protections?
marking verified based upon Theo's comments. I do not have the hardware to verify this. If this problem still occurs, pls reopen.thnx
