When trying to print the directions and map form maps.google.com using the "Print" link from the page (not FF File->Print), nothing is displayed in the print preview window. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to http://maps.google.com/
2.Click on "Get Directions" link (upper left corner)
3.In the form, enter a starting location in "A"(eg. Paris) and a destination in "B"(eg. Rome)
4.Click on "Get Directions" button located at the bottom of the form
5.When the displayed route appears in the left, click on the "Print" link located above the map (not from the browser File->Print)
Actual Results:  
A new window is opened, but nothing is displayed. There is no preview of the map or of the directions. 
Also the Print button from the new window is not usable(nothing is printed). 

Expected Results:  
In the opened window, a preview of the directions should be displayed and the Print button on the page should work.

I'm unable to reproduce this problem on a few machines I tried, including ones with Win7, Ubuntu 10.10, and Mac: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:2.0b8pre) Gecko/20101104 Firefox/4.0b8pre

I see a little bit of lag between the moment I click on the "Print" link in the maps page, and the time the instructions show up in the window that comes up afterwards, but it does show me the instructions.

Teodosia, does it happen with a fresh profile? With today's nightly?

I'm able to reproduce the problem with the latest nightly (Gecko/20101104) on a fresh profile.
